Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament

Rejected petition union jack and British national anthem used at english events

More details

In this era of unity for the UK and as such the government wanting to put the Union Jack on everyones driving licence to show it represents a family of nations. I think it is only fair to keep in line with government policy that the Union Jack or the British national no longer be used to represent England at sporting events or occasions as this wrongly linkes these items to England only to the detrement of the other partners in our family of nations

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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