Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10%: protect jobs, communities & UK competitiveness - 15,891 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,171 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10% to prevent closures & protect tax revenue. When venues close, HMRC loses 100% of its VAT, business rates, PAYE & corporation tax, reducing employment & supply chains. We believe a lower VAT rate would keep viable businesses trading, securing jobs & ongoing revenue.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is supporting UK hospitality through Great British Summer Savings and lower business rates. Cutting VAT to 10% would cost around £11 billion a year.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,666 - 821 added in the past 24hrs)

As a mother of a baby born via emergency c-section due to missed foetal compromise I urge the Government to require the NHS to offer a routine third trimester ultrasound scan. I think this could reduce emergency c-sections, stillbirths and lifelong disabilities due to missed foetal complications.

The Government responsed to this petition on 27th July 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government would consider a routine NHS third trimester ultrasound scan in the event of an evidence-based recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee. A call for new proposals is open.

Government ban on social media to be for under 13s only - 15,091 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,156 - 35 added in the past 24hrs)

Any government ban on social media that is introduced should be for under 13s only. We want people 13+ to be able to use social media. Not just 16+, as we believe 13 is reasonable as you are officially a teen and responsible for yourself.

The Government responsed to this petition on 2nd July 2026 (View Full Response)
Having listened to parents, children and experts, we are restricting social media companies from offering services to under-16s while supporting safe, positive online and offline spaces for children.

Review discharge of mental health patients - 14,572 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,762 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

Why do we allow people struggling with mental health to be discharged alone. We think this is a huge safeguarding issue and not protecting the vulnerable. A review should consider requiring that patients are discharged into the care of someone. We think this could prevent the loss of lives.

The Government responsed to this petition on 8th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government agrees that people should be provided with the right support post-discharge, as set out in statutory guidance. There are no plans for a review.
