Open Petition since 7th January 2026

Appoint a Maternity Commissioner to improve maternity care for mums and babies - 146,238 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 153,625 - 55 added in the past 24hrs)

A 2024 parliamentary birth trauma inquiry recommended a Maternity Commissioner be appointed alongside a National Maternity Strategy to ensure mums and their babies were safe and looked after with professionalism and compassion.

The Government responsed to this petition on 28th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has commissioned an independent Investigation into maternity and neonatal care, which makes recommendations this spring. There are no current plans to appoint a Maternity Commissioner.
Open Petition since 11th December 2025

Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on firearms licenses - 121,677 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 133,483 - 109 added in the past 24hrs)

Keep section 1 firearm & section 2 shotgun licensing separate. I think this would help to protect law-abiding owners, the shooting industry, & rural communities. Policies should focus on real public safety issues without burdening responsible citizens or damaging heritage & livelihoods.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has committed to a public consultation on strengthening licensing controls on shotguns. We will consider all views submitted during the consultation before deciding on further action.
Open Petition since 4th September 2025

By-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party - 128,816 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 129,284 - 50 added in the past 24hrs)

When an MP decides they want to defect to another party a by-election should be automatically triggered to allow the constituents the opportunity have their democratic right to agree or not with their elected official.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th February 2026 (View Full Response)
There are no plans to make changes to the current constitutional arrangements, whereby voters elect individual candidates, and not the political party they represent.
Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance - 112,586 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 123,294 - 287 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the government to introduce a new tax code for state pensioners, set at double the basic threshold. If this was implemented, pensioners would receive a higher tax-exempt limit, but wealthier pensioners would still pay tax.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th December 2025 (View Full Response)
The State Pension is the foundation of support for pensioners. The Government is committed to a fair tax system but doubling the Personal Allowance for pensioners would be untargeted and costly.
Open Petition since 9th October 2025

Lower the age for invites to regular mammograms to 40 & perform annually - 93,116 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 120,287 - 3,169 added in the past 24hrs)

Lower the age for when you are first called to 40 and provide funding to carry out Mammograms Annually instead of every Three Years

The Government responsed to this petition on 21st November 2025 (View Full Response)
In line with independent advice from the UK National Screening Committee, the Government does not intend to lower the age or increase the frequency of breast screens.

Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy - 115,050 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 116,391 - 19 added in the past 24hrs)

We are concerned about reported efforts from Russia to influence democracy in the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Russian influence campaigns in the UK.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 9th February 2026

The Government responsed to this petition on 15th January 2026 (View Full Response)
Russian interference threats to the UK will be examined as part of the Independent Review of Foreign Financial Interference. Review findings will be presented to the House for scrutiny in late March.

Require non-stunned and stunned meat to be labelled accordingly - 115,269 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 116,369 - 173 added in the past 24hrs)

We think it should be required that the labelling of non-stunned and stunned meat be clearly labelled throughout the food chain. This includes shops, supermarkets, suppliers, fast food and restaurants

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd December 2025 (View Full Response)
Whilst there is no regulatory requirement for labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning, any information of this nature must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.
Open Petition since 31st October 2025

End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 108,804 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 113,778 - 75 added in the past 24hrs)

Many tests on dogs and other animals cause unimaginable suffering. They can translate poorly into effective treatments and cures for human diseases or provide safety and efficacy data that is not relevant to humans.

The Government responsed to this petition on 13th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The use of animals for development of products for human use remains necessary. The Government therefore does not agree to end testing on dogs and other animals for testing and research purposes.

Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating - 19,129 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 107,555 - 1,012 added in the past 24hrs)

I'd like to for the law to be changed so children are only permitted to ice skate if wearing protective gloves to protect their hands. The blades are so sharp.


Open Petition since 7th January 2026

Government apology and compensation for 1950s Women affected by pension changes - 66,779 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 101,164 - 256 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask Government to deliver a fair, timely, fully transparent apology that reflects ALL evidence based on what we think constitutes maladministration and discrimination; and addresses the financial, emotional and personal hardship experienced by 1950s women caused by pension changes.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th February 2026 (View Full Response)
We apologised for not sending State Pension age letters sooner. Deciding not to pay compensation and the Ombudsman’s report relate to that, not the petition’s “hardship...caused by pension changes”.
