Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

People in jobs around the world have to conduct blood/urine tests for drink/drug misuse.
If they fail, they get sacked or disciplined.
We as tax payers should get a say on who/ whom get our donations.
We pay into it, they sponge off it!

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It is clear that you think that people who claim benefits should have to be tested for drink and/or drugs, but it is not clear what action you believe should follow if someone tests positive for drink and/or drug use.
