Rejected petition Backbench Business Committee of MPs should make time to discuss e-petitions

More details

The Backbench Business Comittee of MPs is currently complaining it does not have time to discuss the TWO e-petitions currently over 100,000 votes. As this is a public website and an attempt to engage the public in Politics it makes a complete mockey of them, this website, and the governments attempts to re-connect with the public if they cannot be bothered to make time to discuss two issues which 100,000 voters have raised as something the government should consider.

A discussion should be held on whether discussions of this nature should take place, and in discussing the discussion a decision should be made about further discussions.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
