This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament don't make decisions about whether a building needs to be demolished after a fire.
The fire at the Glasgow School of Art was discussed in the House of Commons on June 19. The UK Government Minister said:
"The UK Government previously gave £10 million to rebuild the school after the last fire, and we stand ready to help again. There was never a question about the need to rebuild and restore the building when tragedy struck four years ago. The situation is far worse after the weekend’s fire, but I hope we can start with that aim in mind."

You could a new petition about something the UK Government and Parliament are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to meet the costs of restoring the Glasgow School of Art.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
