Rejected petition Explore criminal proceedings against the Government relating to covid deaths.

I want Parliament to acknowledge that many deaths could have been avoided and ask the Director of Public Prosecutions to explore the option of criminal proceedings. To date over 150,000 deaths have been attributed to Covid and many could have been avoided if the Prime Minister took prompt action.

More details

Whilst a Public Inquiry has been announced the timescale and it’s powers remain unknown. Therefore an urgent review of the criminal liability is needed by the Director of Public Prosecutions

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about investigating alleged offences and prosecuting these are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons.

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