Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on firearms licenses - 119,109 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 130,701 - 95 added in the past 24hrs)

Keep section 1 firearm & section 2 shotgun licensing separate. I think this would help to protect law-abiding owners, the shooting industry, & rural communities. Policies should focus on real public safety issues without burdening responsible citizens or damaging heritage & livelihoods.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has committed to a public consultation on strengthening licensing controls on shotguns. We will consider all views submitted during the consultation before deciding on further action.

Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance - 89,398 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 119,539 - 1,553 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the government to introduce a new tax code for state pensioners, set at double the basic threshold. If this was implemented, pensioners would receive a higher tax-exempt limit, but wealthier pensioners would still pay tax.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th December 2025 (View Full Response)
The State Pension is the foundation of support for pensioners. The Government is committed to a fair tax system but doubling the Personal Allowance for pensioners would be untargeted and costly.

End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 107,398 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 117,481 - 126 added in the past 24hrs)

Many tests on dogs and other animals cause unimaginable suffering. They can translate poorly into effective treatments and cures for human diseases or provide safety and efficacy data that is not relevant to humans.

The Government responsed to this petition on 13th November 2025 (View Full Response)
The use of animals for development of products for human use remains necessary. The Government therefore does not agree to end testing on dogs and other animals for testing and research purposes.

Require non-stunned and stunned meat to be labelled accordingly - 111,050 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 113,337 - 114 added in the past 24hrs)

We think it should be required that the labelling of non-stunned and stunned meat be clearly labelled throughout the food chain. This includes shops, supermarkets, suppliers, fast food and restaurants

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd December 2025 (View Full Response)
Whilst there is no regulatory requirement for labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning, any information of this nature must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.

Ban social media for under-16s to protect children - 76,396 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 79,084 - 141 added in the past 24hrs)

Ban social media access for under-16s. We think this could protect their mental health and childhood. Evidence shows it can cause harm, exposing children to bullying, addiction and inappropriate content. Follow Australia’s lead to prioritise their well-being. Social media can wait—childhood cannot.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The government is launching a consultation and a national conversation to gather views and drive action to keep children safe online, including seeking views on a social media ban for children.
