Request a Judicial Review of Gavin Williamson knighthood

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The knighthood of Gavin Williamson appears to be totally un merited and if so calls into disrepute the honours system as a whole.
A fair justification of the reason the knighthood was given.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept petitions that relate to honours and appointments, which includes calling for an honour to be removed, or the decision to award an honour to be subject to judicial review.
