Preserve Churchill on the £5 Banknote

Preserve Churchill on the £5 Banknote — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I want Parliament to preserve Winston Churchill on the £5 note under new or amended legal tender law.

Additional details

While respecting the Bank of England’s operational independence, Parliament is sovereign and can legislate on the definition of legal tender for notes. I request it require Winston Churchill’s depiction be preserved on the £5 note to protect cultural and historical significance. Minor redesigns may be allowed, but new or amended statutory legislation could ensure the note’s symbolic heritage remains intact.
