Allow policyholders to stop declaring void or cancelled policies after 5 years.

What the petition asks
As a policyholder, I have learnt that cancelled policies must be declared for life, affecting car, home, life and pet cover.
It is unfair for policyholders to have to suffer these consequences indefinitely hence a fair time limit must be set.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Requirements for policy holders to declare past polices is a matter for individual insurance providers, not the Government or House of Commons.
