This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Make the minimum penalty for all sexual offences imprisonment: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/579986

If you want the Government to take a specific action different to the above petitions, you could start a new petition requesting this, but would need to be clear what action you want the Government to take, and would need to provide your full name.

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