Protect legal right to support for children with SEND - 111,282 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 116,217 - 790 added in the past 24hrs)

I believe that the Government’s proposed SEND reforms could limit EHCPs, weaken legal rights, replace individual plans with packages, reduce appeals, and remove school choice. In my view, children could be left without the support they need as a result.

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd June 2026 (View Full Response)
The government’s SEND reform proposal will strengthen legal duties, better support children with SEND in mainstream settings and ensure EHCPs secure statutory support for children with complex needs.

Change surrogacy law to recognise intended parents from birth - 113,303 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 113,334 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

The law must change so intended parents in surrogacy arrangements are recognised as their child’s legal parents from birth. Families should not have to go through months of court proceedings and social worker visits to be recognised as the parents of a child they planned and love.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 7th September 2026

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th May 2026 (View Full Response)
We acknowledge delays to legal parenthood can cause uncertainty. The Government has no current plans to review surrogacy laws but will look to consider this in the future as time and capacity allows.

The Government responsed to this petition on 11th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government intends to publicly consult on the eligibility of the British Industry Supercharger this year. However, consultation outcomes, including future sector inclusion, cannot be pre-empted.

Remove sentence reductions for guilty pleas in controlling and coercive cases - 105,823 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 106,145 - 48 added in the past 24hrs)

I want the Government to introduce legislation so that defendants charged with controlling or coercive behaviour cannot receive a sentencing reduction for a guilty plea entered after initially pleading not guilty. This should be known as Paris’s Law.

The Government responsed to this petition on 11th May 2026 (View Full Response)
Guilty pleas given later in the process can still benefit victims and the administration of justice but are reflected by a substantially lower reduction in sentence.

Codify rules for MPs' attendance in Parliament & their constituency in statute - 23,868 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,926 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)

Codify in statute clear and binding obligations for MPs on time spent in their constituency and in Parliament. We think that leaving it to convention unfortunately allows a minority to abuse the system.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to maintaining high standards of conduct in public life, but has no plans to introduce rules to codify or mandate MPs' attendance in Parliament or their constituencies.

We want the Government to stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance (LSA) which compensates British service personnel for unavoidable extended time away from their families due to deployments and training.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Longer Separation Allowance recognises the impact of time away from home. It is taxed like salary under UK tax law, and there are currently no plans to change this.

Mandate standardised cancer training for all GPs in England - 18,644 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 18,904 - 25 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the Government to mandate cancer training for all GPs in England, requiring all GPs to complete mandatory, standardised training on cancer red-flag symptoms, with formal assessment, regular revalidation, NHS England regulation, and GMC linkage to improve early diagnosis.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th June 2026 (View Full Response)
It is crucial that GPs are able to identify cancer symptoms early. Our National Cancer Plan and Jess’s Rule support this. Standards and training for GPs are led by regulatory and professional bodies.
