UK Parliament Petitions

Protect Privacy: Stop Mandatory Age Verification on Adult Websites

We urge the UK Government to abandon mandatory age verification for adult websites. We believe it will not stop underage access but may push users toward unsafe, unregulated sites. Instead, the government should focus on parental controls,

Review how Home Office deals with applications for ILR due to domestic violence

I think that the Government allows claims of leave to remain because of DV too easily. People can apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) because of a relationship breakdown due to domestic violence or abuse, if their partner was a Briti

Amend the Working Time Regulations to reduce the legal maximum baseline working week to 32 hours from 48 hours, maintaining current pay levels (100:80:100 model). Make it a legal requirement that any hours worked beyond 32 hours a week be p

We urge the UK Government to cease all trade with the State of Israel concerning the Occupied Palestinian Territories (oPt) and ban UK businesses from trading with Israel in this regard. We believe Palestinian-led businesses in the oPt shou

Outlaw fireworks for the general public

Outlaw the sale and/or possession of Fireworks for all but accreditted/professional pyrotechnicians.

Allow conjugal visits for prisoners in England and Wales

Allow prisoners to have conjugal visits with their partners. We think this will put less strain on relationships and might also help keep prisoners in check as they could lose rights for certain visits if misbehaving.

Establish a Pathway to Permanent Settlement for Ukrainians in the UK

Provide a pathway to permanent settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain) for Ukrainians under humanitarian schemes who are already contributing to the UK economy but are forced to live in uncertainty for almost 5 years many with no place to r

Private pensions to remain excluded from someone's estate for Inheritance Tax

We ask the Government to reverse the planned change in April 2027 to include someone's Private pension into their estate estimate for Inheritance tax. In our view this disproportionately penalise single or unmarried couples due to £325k ind

Review FCDO procedures for supporting investigations into British deaths abroad

We believe the UK government should take a more active role in ensuring that deaths of British nationals abroad are properly examined.

Increase the personal tax allowance threshold to £20,000

The personal allowance has been frozen while living costs have risen, meaning workers pay more tax in real terms. Increasing it to £20,000 would put more money into millions of workers’ pockets, helping with rising bills and supporting low

Review Local Government Reorganisation decisions

This petition asks the government to review recent Ministerial decisions on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) particularly in relation to the size and practicality of councils in rural areas.

Introduce measures to ensure fair pay for rideshare drivers

Some firms can charge drivers commission fees of 25% or more of each fare. This can leave drivers struggling to earn a fair and sustainable income. We think this model places an unfair burden on drivers, who are essential to our transport i

Require schools to include both skirts and trousers in female uniform policy

Require school uniform policy to allow girls the right to wear skirts or trousers. I think control over the wearing of either item contravenes the Equality Act 2010 through direct discrimination of women.

Enable self-employed to include childcare costs in allowable expenses

We want the Government to allow those who are self-employed to deduct childcare costs from their taxable profit and therefore be included in allowable expenses. We think these deductions could increase productivity, earnings, and ultimately
