Grant a Section 30 Order to enable a Scottish Independence Referendum - Final Signatures: 15,207

The UK Government should grant without delay a Section 30 Order under the Scotland Act to enable an independence referendum to take place in Scotland, to allow the Scottish people, who elected a Scottish Parliament with a clear majority on holding such, to express their democratic will.

The Government’s focus is on tackling issues such as the cost of living, energy security, and growing the economy. This is simply not the time to be talking about another independence referendum.

Reverse the decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill - Final Signatures: 29,584

I want the Government to reverse their decision to block the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, as this legislation contains important provisions for the LGBT community in Scotland. We are a United Kingdom, and the UK Government should not block devolved legislation.

This decision was made due to the adverse effects that would arise from the Bill and its significant impact on GB-wide equalities matters. This is not about changing the rights of transgender people.

Hold a referendum on ending devolution in Scotland - Final Signatures: 16,529

We believe devolution in Scotland has failed, come at a cost to the UK economy and adds little to no value to the people of Scotland. We want a referendum to be held asking the public whether powers granted through devolution should be returned to the UK Government in Westminster.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th July 2023 (View Full Response)
The UK Government is committed to devolution and believes the settlement strikes the right balance. We disagree with the petition’s suggestion there should be a referendum on ending devolution.
