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.

We're not sure what you'd like Parliament to debate.

If you'd like the House of Commons to debate the CICA's guidance and whether it should be changed, you could start a new petition calling for that.

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