What the petition asks
MOD knowingly licences Arms sales to Saudi Arabia for the use on civilians in Yemen. This practice is against International law.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We cannot accept a petition calling for the impeachment of the Prime Minister because this procedure is now considered obsolete. It is not therefore clear what action could be taken on this petition.
