Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the use of ethanol in fuel, but we're not sure if you want the Government to ban the use of ethanol in all fuels, or do something else.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
