This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government has indicated it regularly reviews travel lists already.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as removing South Africa from the Red List.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
