Rejected petition Statutory requirement that all e-petitions over 100,000 signatures must be debated in HoC

More details

As of 4th November 2011 of the five e-petitions that have passed 100,000 signatures only three will be debated...

E-petitions represent the concerns of the public at large and if 100,000 people are concerned about a certain issue then a debate should be held on it in the House of Commons - it should not be ignored for "lack of time" or any other reason.

Sign up to campaign for a statutory requirement to debate issues that the public deems important. Remember MPs are elected to represent you...
