This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you're not happy with the how the Government's daily press briefings work, but it's not clear what you want the Government to do to change this.

The daily press briefings are arranged to enable the Government to brief and answer questions from the press. Since you started your petition the House of Commons has returned from recess, so MPs representing opposition parties are able to question the Government in the House of Commons.
