This petition was rejected

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 impact of Covid-19 on bus and HGV drivers, but it's not clear exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, and in particular whether you want the Government to fund free C1 licences for everyone, or only people in certain circumstances.

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