Rejected petition Build a statue of Alan Turing in Parliament Square.

Alan Turing helped bring World War II to an end, pioneered computer science and predicted the potential of artificial intelligence. He's a true British hero yet was prosecuted for being gay. It's time to pay our collective respect and tribute to his work and life with a statue in Parliament Square.

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 granting of planning permission in Parliament Square is a matter for Westminster City Council and not the UK Government or Parliament.

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