Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Let the people of the United Kingdom decide if this bill is as innocent as it is being made out to be.

For people's reading

https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/56527/documents/5211
A bill of 262 pages of 14 far-reaching provisions with 8 main parts and 138 sub-parts. What does this bill mean for the people of the United Kingdom concerning data use and access?

The data (property) of the United Kingdom people is theirs, NOT anyone else's. First, talk to the people of the United Kingdom, be honest and transparent, and see if they agree with the proposals for the Data (Use and Access) Bill and the property of said child, woman, and man.

Why it was rejected

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