Why was this petition rejected?

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

I'm afraid we find it unclear from your wording exactly what you are calling for in your petition. Perhaps you want the Government to speed up compensation payments, or to provide them even when evidence is lacking because of the destruction of relevant records?

We can consider a petition on this subject if the text makes more clear what it is you are seeking.

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