Start an investigation into the astronomical cost of the UK Track and Trace.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The cost of implementing Track and Trace in the UK is approximately £22 billion pound. This is an incredibly large amount, especially when you consider that NASA can send the Perseverance Rover to Mars for 'just' £3 billion.

As the government is the body that has given the go ahead for this astronomical amount, they should publically investigate what on earth £22 billion has been spent on and then justify this incredible use of public money.
