What the petition asks
To investigate all funding streams including Covid relief funding to establish where the funds have gone and to establish their use is within the parameters for which funding was intended. To explain also why any funds remain unallocated or not distributed and sight where the funds currently are.
I am concerned that funding is not going to the services, business and individuals for which it is intended. For example the UKGov Covid relief fund is reported to be in part still unallocated and businesses & individuals report not being supported.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Your petition is about something that the Scottish Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.
