Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not clear what your petition is actually calling on the Government to do. Are you opposed to a statutory ban, because you believe parents should be making the decision for their children, rather than the Government, or are you calling for the ban only to have statutory effect for each family/child when their is formal agreement from the parents?
