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 Allow individuals to present public petitions without the support of an MP
Currently, many people ask their MPs to present their petition to the House of Commons but MPs can refuse to do so. In such cases, the House of Commons should allow members of the public to present their petitions directly, without the support of an MP.
More details
The Government need to enable members of the public to make direct representations to the House of Commons. There are cases involving matters of life & death, which the public should be able to bring directly to the attention of MPs from across the House.
This petition is closed All petitions run for 6 months
