Abolish The Chatham House Rule
Publicly unaccountable NGOs, including think-tanks and private corporations within Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) are influencing political policy off record under the protection of the 'Chatham House Rule'. This they do without having been elected by the public! It is unconstitutional.
Evidence: just check most policies made in City Councils around our Country.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Chatham House Rule is not specifically the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. We therefore cannot accept a petition asking the Government or Parliament to abolish the rule.
It seems from your petition that you would like to see increased transparency in local government decision-making. You could start a petition asking for changes to legislation to make this happen.
