In 1990 UK government signed a treaty letting Germany off from it's WW2 wartime debts of approximately £3.6 trillion. It is only fair that Germany pay their share as the aggressor.

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The UK Government and Parliament cannot unilaterally revoke a multilateral treaty.
