What the petition asks

Enabling pubs to sell takeaway alcohol may help to save the industry beyond lockdown and help them open again.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The new regulations that have been put in place for the current lockdown allow licensed premises to sell alcohol provided this is pre-ordered by the customer: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1200/pdfs/uksi_20201200_en.pdf
