Ensure Rule Britannia & Land of Hope and Glory remain in Last Night of the Proms

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Parliament should debate this issue and ensure that our cultural history is protected

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about the BBC Proms are a matter for BBC, which is operationally independent, not the Government or House of Commons.
