This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, we could accept a petition asking for a royal commission to be set up for the NHS.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
