Rejected petition Reinstate Maternity Allowance for Self-Employed Mothers

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Mothers who are not entitled to maternity allowance will now be eligible for other benefits. You can find out more here:
