(Estimated Final Signatures: 28,035 - 914 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on Parliament to investigate the ongoing and systemic failures in the administration of civil service pensions. These failures have left thousands of current and former civil servants in limbo, waiting excessive periods for pension payments they are entitled to.

Introduce an NHS data opt-out & require a consultation for system expansions - 24,945 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 27,353 - 26 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a clear national opt-out for NHS data processed in the Federated Data Platform (FDP) and National Data Integration Tenant (NDIT) and require a full public consultation before any further expansion of these systems.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The National Data Opt-Out does not apply to the NDIT or FDP as data use supports direct care, is legally required or is anonymised. National public engagement is shaping changes to the opt-out system.

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.

Abolish interest charges on student loans - 20,544 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,574 - 50 added in the past 24hrs)

Cancel interest charges on all student loans. We believe placing this burden on the backs of those that want to succeed in life is abhorrent and short-sighted. These charges penalise our brightest and best, the very people that contribute the most to society.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd March 2026 (View Full Response)
Student loans are heavily subsidised by government. To be fair to taxpayers and low earners, those who financially benefit should contribute to the cost. Adding interest to loans is one way to do this

Require NHS to offer routine third trimester pregnancy ultrasound scan - 6,984 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,189 - 260 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.

Make it compulsory for children to wear gloves ice skating - 25,783 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,072 - 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.

Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately - 23,529 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,912 - 9 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.
