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 exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, as
the 1% public sector pay cap has been lifted by the Government. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could call for teachers' pay to be increased by 6%, in line with the pay rise for NHS staff.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
