This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament

Petition Make "opt out" in all cases

More details

For many years the people’s right to decide have been eroded by the use of the Opt In by the Governments, Departmental offices, Local Authorities, Utilities, Insurance Companies, Internet etc.

Everyone should have a right to decide. By agreeing to Opt Out on the statute the petition will redress the anomaly and will give people the right to choose.

For those few who like Opt In they can but I believe they would be in a minority

Imagine if you can when Opt Out is adopted then letters addressed to “The Householder”, nuisance phone calls, all forms from public bodies etc would be outlawed unless the person agrees!

If you agree then sign the petition after all it should be the people’s choice not the Government’s
