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 to see the standard Personal Allowance rise, but it's not clear if you want this to be a one-off, or if you want the Government to permanently link the Personal Allowance to inflation.

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