MPs re-convene and sit in the House of Commons before children go back to school
Rejected
15 signatures
What the petition asks
Lead by example and sit in the House of Commons before sending any children back to school
Children and their families are not test cases. Parents and teachers need to see strong leadership to invoke confidence that schools re-opening is the correct and safe thing to do
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Since you started this petition some schools have reopened and the House of Commons is meeting in Westminster.
