Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Scottish Government is responsible for quarantine arrangements in Scotland. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.
The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee.
