This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Operational decisions regarding military flights out of Afghanistan are a matter for UK military officials, not the Government or House of Commons.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

You could start a petition calling for the Government to hold an inquiry into the evacuation of people and equipment from Afghanistan, if that's something you would like to happen.

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

Hold a judge-led inquiry into the UK's operations in Afghanistan 2001 to 2021:

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