It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This would be a personal decision for the MP, not the responsibility of the UK Government and Parliament as a whole.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
