We would like the Government to fund free period products to be available in all public buildings.","additional_details":"If men didn't have to go to the toilet but women did would toilet paper be free? When you go inside a bathroom it is expected to see toilet paper, soap and water. This is obviously because going to the toilet is a natural bodily function that you cannot control. However, for women having a period is also a natural bodily function that they cannot control. In our view, by giving toilet paper to men and not period products to women we are essentially saying that women are not as valued as men.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":42,"created_at":"2026-03-09T15:54:48.166Z","updated_at":"2026-04-15T09:16:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-10T14:16:33.678Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-09T18:16:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Claire Elizabeth Brown","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"HO","name":"Home Office","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":42}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Birmingham Erdington","ons_code":"E14001093","mp":"Paulette Hamilton MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bury North","ons_code":"E14001144","mp":"Mr James Frith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Colchester","ons_code":"E14001176","mp":"Pam Cox MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dorking and Horley","ons_code":"E14001201","mp":"Chris Coghlan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Epsom and Ewell","ons_code":"E14001227","mp":"Helen Maguire MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Gillingham and Rainham","ons_code":"E14001246","mp":"Naushabah Khan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Goole and Pocklington","ons_code":"E14001250","mp":"Rt Hon David Davis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Grantham and Bourne","ons_code":"E14001253","mp":"Gareth Davies MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Holborn and St Pancras","ons_code":"E14001290","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Houghton and Sunderland South","ons_code":"E14001295","mp":"Rt Hon Bridget Phillipson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ipswich","ons_code":"E14001302","mp":"Jack Abbott MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Maidenhead","ons_code":"E14001348","mp":"Mr Joshua Reynolds MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Buckinghamshire","ons_code":"E14001360","mp":"Greg Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Reigate","ons_code":"E14001442","mp":"Rebecca Paul MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Rossendale and Darwen","ons_code":"E14001450","mp":"Andy MacNae MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Salford","ons_code":"E14001459","mp":"Rebecca Long Bailey MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scarborough and Whitby","ons_code":"E14001461","mp":"Alison Hume MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Sleaford and North Hykeham","ons_code":"E14001476","mp":"Dr Caroline Johnson MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Taunton and Wellington","ons_code":"E14001540","mp":"Gideon Amos MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Walthamstow","ons_code":"E14001563","mp":"Ms Stella Creasy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wetherby and Easingwold","ons_code":"E14001582","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Alec Shelbrooke MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Widnes and Halewood","ons_code":"E14001584","mp":"Derek Twigg MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Midlothian","ons_code":"S14000045","mp":"Kirsty McNeill MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber","ons_code":"S14000067","mp":"Brendan O'Hara MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dumfries and Galloway","ons_code":"S14000073","mp":"John Cooper MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bangor Aberconwy","ons_code":"W07000083","mp":"Claire Hughes MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":5},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":3},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":7},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":2},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":3},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":10},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":5},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":3}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
