Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. At the moment, there isn't a specific legal minimum wage in London.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage to be paid at different rates in London, and for £9.50 per hour to be the rate in London.
