This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Parliamentary reports are already referenced, we aren't sure how you'd like other parliamentary proceedings to be referenced.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
