(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,282 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

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.

Many children with SEND are being failed. Some families can wait months or even years for support, leaving children without the education they are legally entitled to and causing long-term harm.

The government is committed to working with families to reform the SEND system and learning from independent inquiries by the Public Accounts Committee and the Education Committee into SEND provision.

Stop the double tax (IHT & Income Tax) of pension funds & death benefits - 24,905 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,337 - 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 - 23,463 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,883 - 10 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.

Leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) - 22,732 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,995 - 33 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge the Government to leave the ECHR as we believe it will help protect British citizens. We think this could give the Government more flexibility to make policies to help reduce the level of illegal migration to the UK.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd September 2025 (View Full Response)
To achieve the Government’s goals to protect the UK’s border security and restore order to the asylum system, our priority should be to review the way the ECHR is interpreted, not withdraw from it.

Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 22,508 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,600 - 1 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.
