Thatchfuneral - epetition response
We received a petition asking:

“We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to not support a state funeral for Baroness Thatcher.”

Details of Petition:

“Baroness Margaret Hilda Thatcher is not deserving of a state funeral. To deem her worthy of such an honour is to overlook a host of awful things, like her support for General Augusto Pinochet, and to overlook many more deserving candidates.”

Read the Government’s response
Thank you for your e-petition.

In the event of the death of any former Prime Minister, the Government is responsible for liaising with the family and representatives of the deceased about arrangements for a suitable service of remembrance, including any administrative support from the Government. For reasons which we hope will be understood, it would not be appropriate to make any comment about detail of any discussions.
