Petition · past parliament

Don't spend £250,000,000 on a vanity yacht. Let's fund the RNLI instead.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to cancel any plans to build a yacht the country doesn't need and fund the RNLI instead
The yacht will serve no purpose. It won't help or mean anything to almost the entire UK population. The RNLI save lives everyday. Let's fund them to make sure they have better training and capabilities to continue their good work.
