This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.

The Government and Parliament are not responsible for decisions on who can appear in the media.

You could start a petition for a legal requirement for think tanks to register their sources of funding, if that's what you'd like to see happen.

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