Rejected petition Halt the sale of the strategic software firm ARM until Parliament can debate it

ARM is of great importance to the security of this country, it is about to be sold to foreign investors.
The sale coincides with Parliaments summer recess so MPs have not had the chance to debate the many implications for the UK.
The sale should be suspended until it can be debated in the House.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The timing of the sale is the responsibility of the board of ARM, not the Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
