This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition To petition the house to bring into statute a War Powers Act.
Rejected on
Following the recent decision of the Prime Minister to send British armed forces into conflict without the expressed will of Parliament being heard beforehand it is my view that on these issues prerogative powers should be abolished and that the War Powers Act should be enacted.
