UK Parliament Petitions

Compensate all UK nationals stranded by the Middle East conflict for expenses

With insurers having exclusions relating to war and, in our experience, refusing along with some airlines to cover our costs for hotels and missed flights, we ask the government to step in. It should provide funds to compensate UK nationals

Stop automatically classifying people as “British by descent” without consent

Stop automatically classifying people born abroad as “British by descent” if they have a British parent. They should retain their entitlement to hold British citizenship as at present, but this should be through their active choice and appl

Fund a new dedicated Good News channel to air daily

We call on the Government and Parliament to recognise the impact that constant negative news coverage has on public mental health, social cohesion and trust in media. Provide funding for a dedicated Good News free broadcast channel within p

The position of ‘Security Officer’ should be added to the recognised profession list in order to be able to countersign for passport applications.

Restrict HGV's to first two lanes of smart motorways to improve flow of traffic

HGV's can often reduce the flow of traffic in the 3rd lane of smart motorways, essentially creating a bottleneck. The Government should restrict HGV's to the first two lanes. During busy times smart motorway signals can be used to restrict

Introduce mandatory ankle and feet checks by school nurses in school

When nurses come to check children’s height and weight, we think this should include a mandatory check to see if these children have any issues with their ankles and feet - eg, having flat feet, or in- or out-toeing.

Ban estate agents from soliciting buyers to bid more on an offer

The Government should ban estate agents from soliciting potential buyers to bid more on properties, as we believe this is pushing property prices up and pushing buyers to even spend more than their budget. Everyone should be able to afford

Mandatory caps on how long defaults can appear on a credit report

Introduce new caps on the length of time a default can stay on your credit score depending on reason. Some people end up with defaults on the score due to unforeseen illnesses and resulting in being out of work and then struggle to get back

Scrap the idea of a Police Licence to Practise

Scrap the idea of a Police Licence to Practise. We do not think it would solve the issues that police are currently facing. We believe there is no realistic possible way to implement this to have a positive impact on policing.

Set policy that exam boards should give students notice of GCSE exam topics

I want the government to allow pupils to know what topics (not questions) will come up on GSCE exams for each subject to save them from stress and feeling like they cannot achieve the grade they want to achieve. If this happens it would all

UC must cover housing costs following marriage breakdown in forces accommodation

Following marriage breakdown in families living in in forces accommodation, the party occupying the property while seeking alternative accommodation can be classed as a 'trespasser', and may therefore be ineligible for support with housing

Allow self-builders to use their LISA for building costs not just land purchase

Right now self-builders can use their Lifetime ISA (LISA) for land purchase if they have a mortgage. We believe this punishes those who can buy a cheaper land outright, but still need a mortgage for the build itself.

Fund annual prostate screening for all members of the UK Armed Forces

We call on the Government to fund a programme for annual prostate screening for all members of the UK Armed Forces to help protect our veterans and save lives.

Make Japanese Knotweed surveys mandatory when selling property

Make it mandatory for the seller to undertake a survey for Japanese knotweed during the sale of their property.

Fund provision of stab vests and first aid kits for all

I would like the government to fund provision of stab vests for everyone. We think this would give residents the ability to go about our daily lives without the fear of getting stabbed. With the UK climate as it is, we feel we cannot go out

Require hospitality venues to offer in-person food ordering service

We would like to ask the government to mandate that all businesses serving food must provide the ability to order food in person, and to accept payments using traditional payment methods, being cash or card (no forced online-only payments).

Fund rehabilitation centres to replace prison for addiction related crimes

Address rising drug use and related crimes by building special secure rehab centres that act like both hospitals and prisons. Since drugs affect brain function and decision-making. These centres could provide medical treatment and structure

Inquiry into DWP handling of ESA terminations during Covid-19

We want a statutory public inquiry under the Inquiries Act 2005 into the Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) handling of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) terminations and related decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic and other ex

Fund free driving lessons for new drivers for their first 3 lessons

We want the Government to provide funding to make the first 3 driving lessons free for new drivers, particularly people who turn 17, as some young people may struggle with paying for every driving lesson.

Fund Financial Support and Debt Relief for Survivors of Abusive Relationships

Create and fund a dedicated financial support and debt relief scheme for survivors of abusive relationships. Give survivors practical help to rebuild their lives without years of financial hardship.

Legislate to allow landlords to sell properties directly to government

We call on the Government to introduce new legislation to allow landlords to sell tenanted properties directly to the government, so tenants are not made homeless.

Limit the strength of prefilled nicotine vaporisers to a maximum of 5mg/ml

Enact a law limiting the strength of prefilled nicotine vaporisers to a maximum of 5mg/ml and require companies to offer graduated products of 2.5mg/ml and 1mg/ml to more closely align with goals to stop smoking.

Remove mandatory age restrictions on films in cinemas & make advisory

I want the government to remove mandatory age restrictions on films in cinemas and make ratings advisory, not mandatory.

Review legislation to improve regulation for online betting tipsters

We urge the Government to review current legislation to improve regulation for online betting tipsters, including looking into heavily fining or shutting down tipsters that do not follow strict regulation guidelines.

To serve at least 1 year in the armed forces before been classed as a veteran

Currently you can serve 24 hours as a recruit and class yourself as a veteran. We think this is insulting to those that serve longer.
