Rejected petition Stop MPs blocking scheduled debates by making excessively long speeches.

Caroline Lucas tried to introduce the NHS Reinstatement Bill, however backbench MPs used up scheduled time making excessively long speeches on a short bill which had already been debated. This may be viewed as a deliberate attempt to block the bill through undemoocratic methods and should be banned.
