Open Petition since 27th February 2026

Review and increase expense rates for employees traveling outside the UK - 9,691 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,790 - 198 added in the past 24hrs)

HMRC sets scale rate expenses for subsistence paid to employees who travel outside the UK, such as Cabin Crew. We feel the rates are not reflective or the real costs for people whose work takes them abroad, and that the way they are put into blocks of 5/10 or 24 hour blocks is completely unfair.

Sever UK-Iran ties, withdraw recognition of Iran’s regime & expel all diplomats - 25,799 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,019 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

We urge Parliament to severe all diplomatic ties with Iran, withdraw recognition of the regime as the legitimate government of Iran, and expel any Iranian diplomats from the UK, in the wake of recent events and reported human rights abuses that have been committed there.

The Government responsed to this petition on 10th March 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government condemns Iran’s destabilising actions, but believes relations are essential to protecting British nationals, holding Iran to account, reducing escalation and supporting diplomacy.

Pass house building reforms for construction of 1.4 million approved houses - 5,567 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,954 - 164 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the Government to introduce mandatory build-out timeframes for approved sites, apply stronger penalties at sites where there has not been progress, pass “use it or lose it” planning permissions, strengthen compulsory purchase powers, and greater support to tackle long-term empty homes.


Open Petition since 17th February 2026

Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating - 25,778 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,146 - 5 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.

The Government responsed to this petition on 12th March 2026 (View Full Response)
The safety and welfare of those taking part in ice skating is absolutely paramount. We have no plans to change the law. The terms and conditions for ice skating are decided on a venue-by-venue basis.
Open Petition since 23rd March 2026

Require NHS to offer routine third trimester pregnancy ultrasound scan - 6,632 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,903 - 242 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.

Open Petition since 25th November 2025

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 23,511 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 24,076 - 14 added in the past 24hrs)

Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately, because it downgrades education for all children, undermines educators and parents. We think it will cause harm to children, with their details being digitally stored for anyone to use without permission.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill delivers on manifesto promises and will make progress towards the Opportunity Mission to break the link between young people’s background and future success.

Allow charities to rescue dogs with docked tails under the Animal Welfare Bill - 23,088 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,236 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask Parliament to include an exemption in the Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Bill for registered charities and approved, responsible rescue organisations to rehome adult, disease tested dogs, who were previously docked as working hunting dogs abroad.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th January 2026 (View Full Response)
We will work with stakeholders to consider appropriate exemptions as we deliver the relevant regulations. Exemptions will need to be finely balanced against the risk of creating loopholes.

Open Petition since 5th December 2025

Introduce a Central Microchip Portal to help reunite missing pets without delay - 18,878 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,981 - 83 added in the past 24hrs)

In March 2024, the previous Government said it would make scanning, checking & reuniting lost & abducted pets more effective by introducing a central portal for approved users-vets, local authorities & police-to search all records instantly, instead of contacting databases individually.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd February 2026 (View Full Response)
Defra is currently working with the Association of Microchip Database Operators to develop commercial solutions that will provide easier access to microchip records for authorised users.
