Rejected petition Allow the debate of motions of no confidence.

In two recent petitions a debate has been refused because "the Committee does not have the power to schedule debates on motions of no confidence, and the petition does not contain a specific request for action on policy"

More details

"It is usually more effective to start a petition calling for a specific change to government policy or the law, rather than a petition about an individual Minister."

So this is a request for a specific change to government policy (or, if necessary, the law) so that the public can have their opinion debated by the house when a large number of people believe that a member is not fit for purpose.
