Closed Allow individuals to present public petitions without the support of an MP

Closed on

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.

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.
