What the petition asks
Keep the songs in the repositories of the Night of the Proms. Override the BBC
I am a veteran and patriotic. I served and fought for my country not to see it torn apart
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.
