The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do. The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
There is an open petition calling for the creation of a statutory requirement for BBC weather forecasts to be provided by the UK Met Office:
