Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Return responsibility for Government data policy to DCMS

I want to the Government to reverse the decision to transfer the responsibility for government use of data from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to the Cabinet Office without parliamentary scrutiny.

More details

I am a concerned citizen of the UK, and I am particularly concerned that data will not be protected or appropriately handled by the Cabinet Office. Especially, in the light of ISC’s Russia Report findings and allegations.

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.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
