Rejected petition Those who submit e-petitions must demonstrate a reasonable grasp of the English language

More details

Before allowing submission of e-petitions, the Government must ensure that the aim and objectives of the petition are communicated in clear and correct English. It is embarrassing to see the low standards in the English language some people use when submitting e-petitions. I suggest submitters undergo a formal test before being allowed to submit an e-petition.
