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 are not happy with how the Government has responded to another e-petition, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

When a petition receives over 10,000 signatures it is entitled to a written response from the Government. The content of written responses, including whether to accept the request of a petition, is a matter for the relevant Government department.

When a petition receives over 100,000 signatures it is entitled to be considered for debate. The timing of any debate is a matter for the Petitions Committee, and due to the suspension of Westminster Hall it is currently not possible for petitions debates to be scheduled as normal.
