We are the q-ship trust and we are stuck holding the baby so to speak we need your help to save this unique opportunity from being lost forever
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.
The HMS Saxifrage appears to be privately owned, and so decisions about its future are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
