Rejected petition act on the Iain Duncan Smith petition on change.org

More details

A quarter of a million people have signed a petition on change.org, calling on Iain Duncan Smith to live up to his statement that he could get by on £53 per week by doing so for a year.

The government should recognise the strength of public feeling being expressed - a parliamentary debate should be held on this matter.

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.
