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 can accept petitions calling for changes to the standing orders establishing the Public Accounts Committee, including regarding its membership, but it's not clear what else you want to happen.

Your petition refers to "the current standing and future committee's on the performance and compliance to change Duty of Best Value Guidance to a statutory requirement to meet cost benefit for the public purse", but it's not clear what you mean by this.

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