Repeal the Devolution Bill

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Repeal the Devolution Bill and make the UK whole again
The devolved assemblies are a drain on the UK's finances and are a heavy burden for England to carry when the UK is fighting out of a recession.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a decision for the people of the devolved nations. You might like to sign and share this petition instead:

Hold a referendum on returning devolved powers to the UK Government
