Stop using the Civil Service to support a remain vote in the EU referendum

Petition Details

It has been reported that Ministers can use the Civil Service in support of a remain vote in the upcoming EU Referendum whilst banning support for those wishing to leave.

We believe it is very wrong to use the Civil Service and taxpayers money to support just one side of this campaign.

Additional Information

Sir Jeremy Heywood said: "Civil servants can draft ministerial speeches and provide briefing on government policy for ministers... including those organised by groups campaigning for the same outcome as the government on the EU referendum."

It is wrong to use civil servants in support of either side.

In the interest of fairness, we respectfully ask Mr Cameron to stop using the British Civil service in support of the remain campaign.
