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 arrangements for proms and similar events are a matter for individual educational institutions or other organisers, not the Government or Parliament.
The Government has banned all gatherings of more than two people in public, so you could start a new petition calling on the Government to end the prohibition on public gatherings of more than two people, to allow events such as proms to go ahead.
