UK Parliament Petitions

The Supreme Court has issued a ruling relating to the definition of sex in the Equality Act. We want the Government to immediately approve and implement the resulting guidance produced by EHRC. We think the delay is untenable.

Update the medical exemption criteria to make all post-transplant maintenance medications free on the NHS in England, ending the geographical inequality with the rest of the UK and preventing costly graft failures.

Require airlines offer alternatives to boarding passes displayed on smartphones

The Government should require all airlines to let passengers travel without mobile app or smartphone. Passengers must be allowed to print boarding passes before arriving at the airport, unless all passengers, including app users, are requir

Require bars/pubs to have CCTV covering areas surrounding toilets

I believe it should be a requirement for CCTV to cover all areas of the venue. This includes stairwells/corridors leading up to toilet facilities to monitor the safety of customers.

I’m calling on the government to close the DBS loophole by ensuring civil harassment orders, such as court-issued undertakings, are disclosed on Enhanced DBS checks to better protect children and vulnerable people from individuals under leg

Following reports of some pet owners not being able to afford vet fees, we believe it is time for the Government to remove VAT from veterinary fees for pets so that it is no longer charged on animal health care which is essential for their

Free School Meals for Children in Kinship Care-Regardless of Household Income

Make free school meals automatic for all children in kinship care, including those under Special Guardianship Orders and Child Arrangements Orders, regardless of household income. Kinship carers save the state money and should not be financ

Lower the age that someone can be considered a victim of domestic abuse

The law defines domestic abuse as abusive behaviour by one person towards another, where both people are 16 or over. We think this should be changed. Our daughter Holly, aged 15, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and we think this case shoul

Referendum on whether to abolish the Welsh Parliament

I believe a referendum in Wales is needed on whether to abolish the Welsh Parliament.

Remove NPPF Paragraph 11(d) and Footnote 8 to Help Protect Green Spaces

Remove Paragraph 11(d) and Footnote 8 from the National Planning Policy Framework to help stop developments proceeding where they may be contrary to local plans. This would help restore a genuinely community-led planning system and strength

Fund a national awareness campaign of suicide in the construction sector

We want an open and honest debate about this silent killer which we feel has been ignored in the sector. We want heightened public awareness, as we believe current legislation is not fit for purpose.

Notify the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe of a "public emergency threatening the life of the nation". Effective immediately.

Legally recognise non-binary as a gender

Non-binary isn’t a legally recognised gender in the UK. We urge the Government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender and people who identify as non-binary in the UK. This proposal would include an X marker on UK passports for non-bina

Referendum on UK sovereignty over the Chagos Islands.

We call on the Government to hold a referendum on the transfer of UK sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. We believe the Government should consult the public on continued UK sovereignty over the Chagos Islands.

Cap all property management fees and service charges

Property management companies managing privately owned properties have some regulations, however, we think they are insufficient as some leaseholders and tenants are being charged fees which we believe are extortionate as there is no maximu

Update business mileage allowance from 45p per mile (not changed since 2011).

The business mileage rate has been stuck at 45p per mile since 2011 – despite fuel, insurance, and maintenance costs soaring. It’s an unfair, outdated rate that penalises the self-employed and small businesses, effectively becoming yet anot

Require large housing development applications to be made as full applications

Require all large (25+) housing development applications to be full detailed applications, not outline which feature an artists impression and vague description of what’s planned. The current system can prevent crucial infrastructure need f

Fund more training for police in dog control matters.

We think more funding is needed for police officers to be thoroughly trained in dog behaviour and handling. We feel more training in expert handling, i.e. using tranquiliser guns, could prevent distress or danger to dogs and the public. We
