This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about honours or appointments.

We cannot accept petitions that call for specific awards or honours to be given to individuals or organisations, because we can only accept petitions about matters for which the Government or Parliament are responsible for.

There is an independent process for considering nominations for awards and honours, and advising the Queen on granting these, so it is not something the Government or Parliament can do.

The Government has announced that it is delaying Her Majesty The Queen’s Birthday honours list until the Autumn so people who have made a contribution to the fight against coronavirus can be recognised and celebrated: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/oliver-dowdens-statement-on-coronavirus-covid-19-20-may-2020

You can nominate someone who has made an exceptional contribution to the response to the coronavirus crisis in the UK for an award here: https://www.gov.uk/honours/nominate-someone-for-coronavirus-work

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