UK Parliament Petitions

Provide funding to make more NHS dentists available

I want the government to provide funding and encourage dentists to reopen their lists for NHS patients.

Ban the sale of glue traps

The sale of glue traps should be banned in line with the current ban on their use under the Glue Traps (Offences) Bill 2022 in order to protect animals and wildlife and limit their suffering caused by such traps.

Create a specific offence to prevent harassment of people breastfeeding

The Breastfeeding etc. (Scotland) Act 2005 makes it an offence to prevent/stop a person feeding a child milk in a public place.

Provide urgent ring-fenced funding for counsellors in every school in England

The government promised in their election manifesto that they would provide access to specialist mental health professionals in every school. I want ring-fenced funding for this to be rolled out urgently. I think all schools should be able

Remove the VAT on Period Swimwear and Sportswear

We want the Government to remove the 20% VAT on period swimwear and sportswear. We think these essential products are unfairly taxed as luxury items, creating barriers for women and girls to stay active during their periods.

Stop individuals in non-fault accidents being charged more for car insurance

I would like the government to require the motor insurance industry to change their policy procedures and not penalise innocent drivers who have been hit by other people's driving mistakes.

Give students the legal right to unrestricted toilet access in school

We are concerned about “zero-tolerance” toilet policies in schools which can force children to wait for escorts or deny toilet breaks and can cause physical harm (retention/bowel distress). We believe it violates the Equality Act, and we ca

Ban carrying religious, cultural & ceremonial bladed & pointed items in public

I believe that the carrying of religious, cultural and ceremonial bladed & pointed items in public should be treated the same as the carrying of all other bladed & pointed items.

Review and mandate DNA testing to end honey fraud and protect real producers.

We urge the Government to bring forward regulations that mandate DNA testing to ensure honey purity. We believe that current tests fail to detect widespread adulteration.

Fund free GCSE exams for all home-educated children

We want the Government to fund free GCSE exams for all home-educated children. We believe that they should be free as parents already pay tax, and that decisions to not enrol in mainstream schools, as it can often be too much for many child

Increase the Carer’s Allowance to equal 35 hours at minimum wage

I want the Government to appreciate unpaid carers who can’t work and to increase the Carer’s Allowance so it equals the minimum wage. Many unpaid carers are only paid around £333 a month for a minimum 140 hours care every 4 weeks, which wor

Fund access to GLP-1 medications through the NHS for women with PCOS

Studies highlight the effectiveness of GLP-1 medications for women with PCOS. We think funding access to GLP-1 treatments, without restrictive BMI criteria or tier system barriers, would improve care and outcomes for these patients.

Stop all state benefit payments to non-British citizens

I would like the Government to cease all state benefit payments and support to people who are not British citizens.

Ban the use of Prong collars and Electric Shock Collars on Dogs and Cats in UK

Ban the use of Prong Collars & Electric Shock Collars for use on Dogs and cats in the UK. We believe they are inhumane, inflict pain, fear and anxiety leading to potential physical and psychological damage, while punishment tools can increa

Require councils to pause council tax bills for three months

We want the Government to require councils to pause council tax bills for three months as we feel they are not delivering on the jobs we pay for such as collecting bins, fixing pot holes and keeping the streets clean.

Review safeguards to stop marriage fraud – to protect UK citizens from Visa scam

We call on the Government to review UK immigration law to ensure there are no loopholes or ways to exploit regulations to enable marriage and relationship-based immigration fraud, to better protect UK citizens from online grooming.

Do not seek closer ties with the EU

I do not want the government to seek closer ties with the EU. I think they should consider the democratic vote of 2016. I feel that seeking closer ties with the EU amounts to reversing Brexit through the back door.

Review comprehensive pain relief & sedation options for hysteroscopy

We call on the UK Government to review the use of pain relief and sedation options to help ensure that women undergoing hysteroscopy are routinely offered appropriate options, including gas and air, conscious (partial) sedation, or full sed

Give all parents the legal right to participate in their child’s funeral

I want Parliament to pass a law to give both parents the right to attend their child’s funeral unless legally prevented, and for Government to provide statutory guidance to funeral directors to protect these rights.

Urge for an international inquiry into Hong Kong & review current HK policies

We believe the Wang Fuk Court fire exposed serious concerns about safety, accountability, and the ability of Hong Kongers to seek truth without fear. As a signatory to the Sino-British Joint Declaration, we feel the UK must promote transpar

Require the accuser in rape cases to hand over their phones to the police

In some rape cases the accuser may withhold evidence in the form of texts and messages. We think the accuser should be required to hand over their mobile devices to the police. In some cases if the police had asked for the accusers phones w

Respond fully to The Law Commission's recommendations on Surrogacy

The Law Commission of England & Wales published its joint report with the Scottish Law Commission in March 2023, with recommendations for a robust new system to govern surrogacy. The Government gave an interim response on 8 Nov 2023. We wan

Hold a referendum on restoring the Death Penalty for murder

We call on the Government to hold a referendum on restoring the death penalty for murderers. We question why taxpayers should pay to keep convicted murderers in prison. We believe that justice betrayed is justice denied.

Justice for ESN Survivors: apologise and fund financial compensation

In the 1960s, hundreds of black children were labelled as "educationally subnormal" and wrongly sent to schools for pupils who were deemed to have low intelligence. We want the government to apologise to those affected.
