Change the law of different sex siblings being allowed to share a bedroom
The law regarding different sex siblings sharing a bedroom hasn't been updated since 1935!! This needs reviewing immediately. I doubt everyone in government would allow their child to sleep in the living room if you only had a 2 bedroom house and a child of each sex.
Review this law and allow people in social housing to have separate bedrooms for children of gender over a certain age
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The House of Commons Library states that there is no age at which it’s unlawful for siblings to share a bedroom, including siblings of opposite sexes.
