Act to ensure Bills backed by MPs & public can complete all stages in Parliament - 109,131 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 139,261 - 245 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to do everything in its power to ensure that when bills are supported by MPs & the public, they have the time to complete all their stages in Parliament. We believe this is important to uphold democracy.

The Government responsed to this petition on 26th February 2026 (View Full Response)
Parliament is the supreme legislative authority in the UK and is responsible for making law. A Bill must be passed by both Houses of Parliament to become law.

Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on firearms licenses - 122,488 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 123,109 - 9 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.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 23rd February 2026

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.

End testing on dogs and other animals for development of products for human use - 115,132 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 117,819 - 105 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.

In line with independent advice from the UK National Screening Committee, the Government does not intend to lower the age or increase the frequency of breast screens.

Government apology and compensation for 1950s Women affected by pension changes - 70,228 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 71,178 - 10 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask Government to deliver a fair, timely, fully transparent apology that reflects ALL evidence based on what we think constitutes maladministration and discrimination; and addresses the financial, emotional and personal hardship experienced by 1950s women caused by pension changes.

The Government responsed to this petition on 9th February 2026 (View Full Response)
We apologised for not sending State Pension age letters sooner. Deciding not to pay compensation and the Ombudsman’s report relate to that, not the petition’s “hardship...caused by pension changes”.

Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK - 48,228 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 69,296 - 1,969 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin the EU, reverse the damage, boost growth, increase tax revenues and restore opportunities in the UK

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th January 2026 (View Full Response)
The UK will not be rejoining the EU, but this Government has reset its relationship with the EU with a new strategic partnership: A deal that is good for UK bills, borders, jobs and growth.

Do not ban social media for under 16s - 63,663 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 68,081 - 34 added in the past 24hrs)

I think the government shouldn’t ban social media for under 16s. This is because for many young people social media is how they communicate with their friends. Some people view social media as a lifeline. A community, a supportive network. This is why I think the government shouldn’t ban it.

The Government responsed to this petition on 4th March 2026 (View Full Response)
The government recognises the benefits of digital technologies, including social media, for children. We are consulting on how to ensure children have an enriching and positive experience online.
