Rejected petition Matt Hancock to apologise to Dr Rosena Allin-Khan for his derogatory response

The Health Secretary should publicly apologise to the member for Tooting for the disrespectful way he replied to her question in Parliament.

More details

Mr Hancock’s remark was sexist and derogatory to a female MP and totally uncalled for given the nature of the line of questioning on testing for Covid-19.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We cannot accept petitions that call for an action relating to a particular individual. Statements by individual Ministers are a matter for those Ministers, and not the Government or House of Commons.

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