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 Expand Bounce Back Loan eligibility to businesses established since March 2020

The bounce back loan scheme was unfair towards businesses that couldn’t claim an allowance because they weren’t operational before March 2020. The Government needs to allow all businesses to be able to claim an allowance.

More details

This has given an unfair advantage going forward in the future to businesses which were able to claim. Businesses like mine will not be able to compete with a company that was awarded say £50,000.

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
