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 Cancel the 2022 House of Commons summer recess

The country is in a mess, yet the House of Commons is closing down and won't be sitting from 22nd July to 5th September. This year the summer recess should be cancelled and MPs work in Parliament through the summer to address the multiple serious issues facing the country.

More details

No other business or organisation would condone closing down for the summer with so much serious business to attend to. Why should the House of Commons be any different?

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
