Rejected petition Stop paying benefits in areas where there is no structural unemployment.

We should not be afraid to ask people in areas where there is an abundance of work to get a job even if it isn't the one that they want. This clearly EXCLUDES people who are sick or have other issues that prohibit work, as well as in areas where there is genuine structural unemployment.

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. We're not sure how you would like the Government to identify or define areas with no structural unemployment. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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