Government has responded to the petition "Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance"

#PetitionGovResponse
Government response: Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance
The State Pension is the foundation of support for pensioners. The Government is committed to a fair tax system but doubling the Personal Allowance for pensioners would be untargeted and costly.

Rejected petition: Ensure British Citizens Can Properly Defend Themselves Amid Rising Threats
The Government has failed to make the public feel safe from attack. With violent and sexual crimes rising, citizens,especially women and girls deserve lawful, non-lethal means to defend themselves. Decriminalising regulated self-defence sprays would help restore safety and confidence.
