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 how you'd like the Government or Parliament to change the law relating to the retention and disposal of records. For example, what types of information you'd like to be retained or archived that aren't already under existing legislation and how long you'd like them to be stored for.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
