More details

We call on Westminster to set up a committee of National Emergency under a Corvid19 Tsar and with Crisis management experts, Representatives of Manufacturing and Retail supply, Opposition Parties and Unions to tackle this crisis at source. Begin Sanitising and disinfecting airports, Rail stations, sea ports and public spaces. Control entry into this country to eliminate scrummages in Heathrow baggage collection / 15 in a lift / walking onto Public Transport and test and temperature check all travellers. Disinfect lorries and goods entering the country and test the drivers etc. In WW2 we didn't rely on imports. We mobilised our magnificent national resources, requisitioned factories and engaged the whole nation in protecting our shores and triumphed.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you want the Government to change its approach to the coronavirus outbreak, but it's clear exactly what you want to happen, or whether the things you are asking for are all things the Government could do.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Take immediate action to find and isolate COVID-19 cases and recent contacts: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/306369

Emergency National Unity Government: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/301563

Start screening every person who enters UK for Coronavirus: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/301188

Responsibility for local public transport is devolved to local councils or Mayors, and national public transport is the responsibility of individual transport operators. Ensuring that public spaces are clean and safe is a matter for individual local authorities, and private property is a matter for the owners or tenants of that property, not the Government or Parliament.
