What the petition asks

Appoint an independent investigator to review all records and statements made in r Gard to the accusations and publish the findings
If a member of the public had broken covid lockdown regulations and or laws, they would be prosecuted. This petition is calling upon all citizens regardless of position to be equally responsible for abiding by covid lockdown regulations

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition the Government has published terms of reference for an investigation by the Cabinet Secretary into allegations of gatherings that took place or may have taken place last year: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/terms-of-reference-for-the-cabinet-secretarys-investigations

Decisions about investigating alleged offences and prosecuting these are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.
