This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The responsibility for all aspects of staging the Games, including sponsorship, is that of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) who are a private organisation operating independently of Government.

LOCOG can be contacted by writing to: London 2012, One Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LN; Tel: 0203 2012 000; or email: enquiries@london2012.com.

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