Rejected petition To freeze insurance policy payments for 3 months due to Covid 19 outbreak

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 payment of insurance is a contractual arrangement between the insurance provider and policy holder, and not something the Government or Parliament is responsible for.
