Petition Action

Allow extended households

Petition Details

Make extended households become reality.

Additional Information

Not everyone who lives in a household with another adult has connection. It is the same predicament as those who live alone who have a support bubble. Couples have been separated since Lockdown began and to have them able to do everything but physically connect is mentally torture. People all over England are breaking the rules on social distancing which is evident, including those having sex (many polls conclude this so). Make it legal for those others.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you are concerned about the impact of current Covid-19 restrictions, but it's not clear how you want these to change.

People can meet in a group of 2 households in any location ‒ public or private, indoors or outdoors. This does not need to be the same household each time.

If you want the rules on "support bubbles" to be changed to allow households of any size to form bubbles you could start a petition calling for this, but would need to be clear this is the action you want the Government to take.
