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 want a baby box, based on the Finnish model, to provided to parents of newborn children, but it's not clear if you want the Government to fund a pilot of providing these boxes, or for parents all newborn children to receive these boxes.

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