We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
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 Replace the e-petitions system with a People's PMQs
We believe that neither the current PMQs or petition system provide effective scrutiny of Government or voice to the public, and that a new People’s PMQs should be established to allow questions submitted and voted on by the public to be asked of the Prime Minister.
More details
A rough outline would be a bi-monthly period for the PM (and possibly other cabinet members) to answer questions that were submitted and voted on by the public (in a similar style to petitions now). These would be independently vetted and approved.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
