Rejected petition Enforce the Drunk and Disorderly laws

More details

Laws to deal with public drunkenness already exist but there is unwillingness to deal with the problem.
Punishments can be increased but if the law is not being enforced in the first place there is no point of increasing the punishment.

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 police, not the Government are responsible for enforcing the law. You need to include a clear statement explaining what action you would like the Government to take on this issue. Your e-petition will then be considered for publication.

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