Rejected petition End Child Poverty & Homelessness before issuing new passports

The government has announced plans to spend £490m changing British passports when we leave the EU.
We the undersigned feel that such an expenditure is inappropriate at a time when hundreds of thousands of children live homeless and in poverty. We request that childhood poverty be eliminated first.

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 exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government to increase funding for specific policies or projects to help with child poverty and homelessness.

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