Rejected petition Make Weddings Part of The Events Research Programme - NOW

The Events Research Programme has proven that events with thousands of people without masks or social distancing are able to safely go ahead when they use the excellent testing that our country has available, so if we have Ascot and Wimbledon - Why Not Weddings?

More details

Monday’s announcement has caused mass confusion – our vaccination programme is going excellently, 8 out of 10 adults have Covid Antibodies, surge testing and the test and trace system is controlling localised outbreaks, we have a huge testing capacity for both PCR and LFTs, and our treatments for Covid (Dexamethasone cuts deaths by a fifth and Regeneron cuts by a fifth for those without antibodies)
Illogical and dumbfounding weddings and other smaller events cannot take place.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you want all weddings to be included as part of the limited Events Research Programme, or specific weddings to be trialled.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or you might like to sign this petition:

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