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.
E-petitions are different and separate to the other forms of petitions to Parliament, and the standards and rules for e-petitions are therefore different.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
