Private e-scooters are illegal to use on public roads and the Government is taking action against mis-selling and illegal use. Rentals within national trials face strict requirements.

The Government has no current plans to add sickle cell disease to the medical exemption list. Extensive arrangements are in place in England to ensure that prescriptions are affordable for everyone.

Stop the double tax (IHT & Income Tax) of pension funds & death benefits - 24,741 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,298 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government are introducing inheritance tax to pension funds & death benefits from April 2027. When you die this may now result in a disproportionate and unfair double taxation on beneficiaries (income tax and inheritance tax) which we think results in a disincentive to funding a pension.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th September 2025 (View Full Response)
More than 90 per cent of estates will still pay no inheritance tax each year. The Government is continuing to incentivise pensions for their intended purpose of funding retirement.

Hold a referendum on introducing mandatory identity cards in the UK - 23,307 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,083 - 16 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to hold a referendum on any proposal to introduce identity cards, including the proposed “BritCard.” We oppose the implementation of a mandatory national identity card system, as we believe it could risk turning personal identification into a tool for state control.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th October 2025 (View Full Response)
We have no plans to hold a referendum on the new digital identity scheme. There will be other ways for people to join a national conversation, including through a forthcoming consultation.

Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 22,466 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,309 - 19 added in the past 24hrs)

The Chancellor should introduce a Pension Tax Lock: a commitment not to reduce the amount people can withdraw from their pension tax-free or the amount of tax relief given on pension contributions. We believe this would help ensure retirement savings are protected and people can save with confidence

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th December 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to ensuring pensioners have security in retirement and has launched a Pensions Commission to look at what is required to ensure the system is strong, fair and sustainable.
