What the petition asks
I want the government to make sure as much as is possible to check at our airports for possible carriers and also give ALL people arriving a clear instruction as to what they should do and a current update as to what the country are doing e.g. lockdown
A simple leaflet would be better than NOTHING.
A simple leaflet would be better than NOTHING.
We place our trust in MP's to look after our interests.
At the moment we are being asked to self isolate on an enforced lockdown. yet people arriving at Heathrow Airport are not even given any advice on the current situation in the country and are not even tested for fever infact there is nothing at all to even inform people there is a pandemic and what there responsibility is.
As of 26th March someone can arrive and enter our society and not bother to self isolate what if they are a carrier.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The arrangements for the provision of information at airports are a matter for individual airport operators, and not the Governemnt or Parliament.
