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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Stablehands are not currently on the Shortage Occupation list

In any case, the langauge requirement is not specific to occupations.
