Rejected petition Texing in the House of Commons whilst debateing

More details

Having witnessed annoyingly on TV many MPs not concentrating on live debates and texing, I call on the Leader of the House of Commons to ban the use of mobile texing technology in the House of Commons or Lords whilst in the debateing chamber.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government cannot 'ban the use of mobile texing technology in the House of Commons or Lords' as these decisions are taken by the Houses themselves. You may wish to consider resubmitting an e-petition that calls on the House of Commons/Lords to 'ban the use of mobile texting technology'.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
