Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about where to locate Covid-19 test centres is a matter for the NHS, not the Government or House of Commons.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to ensure that Covid-19 testing is available at all ports, for hauliers, if that's what you want to happen.
