It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure exactly what kind of a review you would like to be done, or who you would like to be responsible for it. For example, we're not sure whether you'd like the UK Government to carry out this review, or whether you would like the Government to ask an independent body to carry it out.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
