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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure which knife offences you're concerned about or what kind of national service scheme you want. For example, we're not sure whether you want to introduce a military national service scheme or another type of scheme.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
