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 Extend the Sure Start Maternity Grant to all new children

Look at the inflation of living costs and make the Sure Start Maternity Grant available to all new children, not just the first child of those claiming certain benefits.

More details

Usually, to get a Sure Start Maternity Grant you must have no other children under 16, and be in receipt of certain benefits.

We want this grant to be extended so that parents of all new children receive it.

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
