Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Ban tear gas and rubber bullets in the UK

We want the Government to ban the use of tear gas and rubber bullets in the UK.

More details

With the ongoing protests in the United States we've seen the harm tear gas and rubber bullets can do. We believe they are inhumane and must be banned in the UK. Tear gas is illegal to use in war, yet its used domestically. Rubber bullets can cost people their eyes, these are certainly not "non-lethal" weapons.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
