This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

How people choose to support the armed forces and honour Remembrance Day is a matter for individuals, not the Government or House of Commons. The Government already organises a number of events around Remembrance Day.

The Government isn't responsible for the rules set by individual sporting organisations, this is matter for individual sporting organisations.

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