Remove Home Secretary Priti Patel for breaching ministerial code

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament need to debate the PM's judgement regarding the Ministerial Standards report saying that the Home Secretary had "not consistently met the high standards expected of her".
Parliament & the public need to understand more about what was behind Boris Johnson's decision and on what basis he has decided she had not breached Ministerial Standards.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't publish petitions about honours or appointments. That includes calling for Ministers to be sacked or to resign.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could sign or start a petition about that.
