Reveal the total weekly cost of of the Bibby Stockholm barge

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

The government is refusing to reveal how much the Bibby Stockholm barge is costing the British taxpayer each week because they say it's "not in the public interest."
As the barge has had minimal occupation since it first docked and has generated a lot of negative publicity regarding its unsuitability, British taxpayers are entitled to know how much of their money is being spent on this potential white elephant.

Why it was rejected

It was a request for information, better suited to a Freedom of Information request.
