This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions have to ask the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

Under the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010, Members of the House of Lords are treated as resident and domiciled in the UK for tax purposes.

We are therefore not sure what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition setting out clearly what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take.
