Rejected

What the petition asks
Ensure Scottish International Football Matches are shown on terrestrial TV the same as England and Wales!
Because it’s unfair that England and Wales get to see their teams for free but Scotland don’t!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about what sporting events to broadcast are a matter for individual broadcasters, not the UK Government or Parliament.
