The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you’re concerned about the sentences for sexual offences, we’re not sure what specific action you would like. In particular, we’re not sure if you want to introduce a minimum sentence for all sexual offences only sexual offences against children.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for minimum sentences of nine years for people convicted of sexual offences against children, if that’s what you’d like to happen.
