Petition · past parliament

Award veteran, Capt Tom Moore, a knighthood on his 100th birthday this month

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Ensure that retired Capt Tom Moore is included in the Queen's birthday honours list and is awarded a KBE in recognition of his previous service during WWII, raising millions for the NHS and becoming an inspiration to the nation

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We know lots of people want to petition for Colonel Moore to receive an honour, but the Government will only accept individual nominations, not petitions, so we can’t publish your petition.
