Make ministers acting against the interests of the UK a criminal offence
If the government has commissioned reports regarding an intended action, and those reports indicate that taking the action would damage the country, it should be possible for the appropriate authorities to charge ministers who pursue the action with a criminal offence.
Obviously there are some reports whose contents are withheld from the public for some considerable time after the event to which they are relevant. In these circumstances, there should be no statute of limitations that would allow ministers to escape responsibility for their actions.
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:
We're not sure whether you would like a general criminal offence to be created, or whether you want it only to apply in cases in which a report has been commissioned.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
