Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
There's no law or government policy banning children from playing conkers, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
If an individual school decides to ban conkers on health & safety grounds, this would be a decision for the school, not the Government or Parliament.
