(Estimated Final Signatures: 65,319 - 115 added in the past 24hrs)

To address the rise in youth vaping, vape flavours that appeal to children will be restricted. We will consult further, being mindful of the role flavours can play in supporting adult smokers quit.

Review how to turn MHRA into a fully transparent, patient first regulator - 12,504 Signatures

Patient safety is the MHRA’s highest priority. There are no plans to review the MHRA, including its accountability, approval processes or its monitoring of the safety of products.

Hold a statutory public inquiry into Gender Identity Ideology and Queer Theory - 11,719 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,323 - 18 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to hold a Statutory Public Inquiry into the extent to which Gender Identity Ideology and Queer Theory have become prevalent in public services, and the impacts. We believe Education, the NHS, and the broader public realm have been cognitively captured resulting in harm.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th April 2024 (View Full Response)
Biological sex clearly exists and matters. There are processes in place for those who wish to change their legal sex. A statutory public inquiry is unnecessary given Government action in this area.
