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 all protests during the Covid-19 pandemic

I would like the Government to remove the exemptions allowing some protests during the Covid-19 pandemic, so that all such public gatherings are banned. Too many people are getting the virus, and I believe this measure could help prevent the spread of Covid-19.

More details

Public gatherings including protests increase the risk of transmission, which can affect both protestors and those they subsequently come into contact with. All protests should therefore be banned for the duration of the pandemic.

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
