The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The BBC is already required to deliver impartial news by the Royal Charter for the continuance of the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Agreement Between Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and the British Broadcasting Corporation. It is therefore unclear what further action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
