Rejected petition Give less air time to the Olympic Games and more News coverage to Finding Tia Sharp, missing 12-year old girl

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

Within the framework of the legislation on broadcasting, the broadcasters are editorially independent and there is no provision for Government to intervene in the broadcasters’ day-to-day editorial matters.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
