Open Petition since 24th January 2025

End the use of cages and crates for all farmed animals - 104,099 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 106,668 - 54 added in the past 24hrs)

We think the UK Government must ban all cages for laying hens as soon as possible.

We think it should also ban the use of all cage and crates for all farmed animals including:
• farrowing crates for sows
• individual calf pens
• cages for other birds, including partridges, pheasants and quail

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th February 2025 (View Full Response)
This Government was elected on a mandate to introduce the most ambitious plans to improve animal welfare in a generation. The use of cages and crates is an issue we are now considering very carefully.

Grant the vote for London Mayor to all UK Residents - 52,524 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 100,851 - 302 added in the past 24hrs)

Only people who live in Greater London are allowed to vote for candidates in the Mayoral elections. We think London carries so much influence across the globe and the majority of UK residents have no say as to who 'heads up' and manages our great city, and we should. London belongs to us all.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd May 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to extend voting rights for the London Mayor elections to all UK residents.

Statutory maternity and paternity pay is £4.99 per hour for a full-time worker on 37.5 hours per week - approximately 59% less than the 2024 National Living Wage of £12.21 per hour for workers aged 21+, which has been set out to ensure a basic standard of living.

Introduce Licensing and Regulation for Dog and Cat Rescues to Protect Welfare - 40,005 Signatures

Many UK animal rescues operate without clear legal oversight, creating opportunities for unethical practices. Some rescues have been linked to supporting irresponsible breeding, neglecting animals, or misusing public donations.


Open Petition since 28th January 2025

Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services - 77,303 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 78,423 - 20 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as otherwise I believe it could potentially be interpreted as including conversion therapy.

New legislation is not necessary as all patients already have the legal right to receive care and treatment that is clinically appropriate and meets their needs.

The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme costs around £700 million annually. Any changes to the statutory scheme must be carefully considered for their impact on its financial sustainability.
