Provide all pensioners born before April 1951 with the new State Pension - 13,154 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,721 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

We would like the Government to provide all pensioners born before 6 April 1951 with the new state pension. The full new State Pension is over £200 more a month than the full basic pension. We believe this is unfair, and unjustifiable.

The Government responsed to this petition on 28th March 2024 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to provide all pensioners born before 6 April 1951 with the new State Pension.

Review how to turn MHRA into a fully transparent, patient first regulator - 12,702 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,614 - 33 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe the MHRA should be reviewed. This should include its approval processes, its monitoring of safety of existing products, its transparency and accountability, and its mechanisms to ensure patient safety is prioritised over commercial interests.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th March 2024 (View Full Response)
Patient safety is the MHRA’s highest priority. There are no plans to review the MHRA, including its accountability, approval processes or its monitoring of the safety of products.

Reduce Vehicle Tax for cars aged between 20 and 40 years old - 12,949 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,414 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

Under the current rules a car does not become exempt from Vehicle Tax until it is at least 40 years old. There are vehicles within the 20 to 40 year age bracket that are well loved, modern classics and without a reduction in tax, we may see these vehicles disappear from our roads.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th April 2024 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to reduce the tax exemption age for classic cars from 40 to 20 years. While the Government keeps all taxes under review, we consider 40 years a fair cut-off date.

Require broadcasters to call proscribed terrorist organisations terrorists - 13,096 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,105 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

Terrorism legislation should be amended to require all broadcasters regulated by Ofcom to describe all terrorist organisations proscribed in the UK and their operatives as “terrorists” and not by any descriptor, such as “militants”, which does not make their terrorist nature clear.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th April 2024 (View Full Response)
Ofcom rules ensure broadcast news must be reported with due accuracy and impartiality. The Government is committed to a free media. It would not be right to dictate the language that journalists use.

We believe the UK Government must call upon the leadership of Hamas to unconditionally surrender, and to return the hostages taken on the 7th of October massacre.

The Government responsed to this petition on 12th April 2024 (View Full Response)
Hamas should release all hostages now, unconditionally. We have been working with partners across the region to secure the release of hostages, including British nationals and their families.

Ban the sale of inappropriately sized enclosures and wheels for small animals - 10,469 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,009 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)

We think the Government should introduce minimum enclosure and wheel sizes for small animals and ban the sale of any that do not fit this criteria. Travel enclosures and carriers should still be available, however.

For the United Kingdom to recognise the state of Palestine immediately - 12,444 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,860 - 7 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe that the Government needs to recognise the state of Palestine immediately. Otherwise we don't think they can legitimately say they back a two-state solution.

The Government responsed to this petition on 27th February 2024 (View Full Response)
We must give Palestinians a credible political pathway and irreversible momentum towards the establishment of Palestine. We will recognise a Palestinian State when most conducive to the peace process.

Let airlines allow pets in the airplane’s cabin to and from the UK - 12,239 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,450 - 84 added in the past 24hrs)

Change the rules on animal travel so they can travel with their owners (with all the documentation and vaccines in order) inside airplane cabins instead of in the hold with luggage.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th April 2024 (View Full Response)
All pets entering Great Britain must be checked to ensure compliance with our import requirements. To facilitate these checks pets travelling by air to GB are required to travel as ‘manifest cargo’.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,444 - 38 added in the past 24hrs)

We consider that Parliament must revoke The Climate Change Act 2008 and related Net Zero targets as since 2008 when the The Climate Change Act became law many hundreds of scientists up to the highest Nobel Laureate level have jointly declared "There is no climate emergency".

Fund breast cancer screening from the age of 40 - 11,734 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,237 - 16 added in the past 24hrs)

Currently women are invited for a breast cancer screening mammogram between the age of 50-53. I would like the Government to provide funding to support breast cancer screening being offered from the age of 40.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th March 2024 (View Full Response)
Women 50-71 are invited to breast screening every three years. Research is being undertaken to review the effects of expanding the age range. The UK NSC will consider the findings when this concludes.
