Closed petition Prevent a single MP being able to stop a Private Member’s Bill
Closed on
Change the arcane parliamentary procedure of one MP being able to shout “Object!” to block a potentially viable & widely supported Private Members Bill (like upskirting or FGM protection) and insert better protection mechanism e.g. forcing vote to stop Bill progress or set number objecting.
