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 Parliament.

The Government has published terms of reference for an investigation into allegations of gatherings that took place or may have taken place last year: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/terms-of-reference-for-the-cabinet-secretarys-investigations

The terms of reference for the above investigation state that if during the course of the work any evidence emerges of behaviour that is potentially a criminal offence, the matter will be referred to the police.

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