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 Make the use of masks on public transport voluntary and not mandatory

I would like the Government or Parliament to reverse the decision to mandate the use of masks on public transport and render it voluntary.

I believe that by mandating something so personal, the Government may be infringing on our civil liberties.

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
