This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Since you started this petition some schools have reopened and the House of Commons is meeting in Westminster.

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