Defer Article 50 invocation whilst Election expenses fraud is unresolved

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Prime Minister has already written to European Council President Donald Tusk to notify him of the UK’s intention to leave the EU, so it is not possible for the Government to take this action.
