This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

An investigation would be the responsibility of the police. You could start a new petition calling for a clear action that is the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. For example, a petition calling for a public inquiry.

There are petitions about the broader issue which you might like to sign. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
