We want the government to update consumer protection regulations to ensure that the time displayed before buying is the exact time the consumer is expected to be on the premises.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":13,"closing_date":"2027-02-18","created_at":"2026-07-20T20:00:38.410Z","updated_at":"2026-08-19T15:29:31.262Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-08-18T09:09:08.571Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-21T20:49:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Andrew Southwell","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DBIST","name":"Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-and-trade"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":13}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Blackpool South","ons_code":"E14001105","mp":"Chris Webb MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brentwood and Ongar","ons_code":"E14001125","mp":"Alex Burghart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chester South and Eddisbury","ons_code":"E14001164","mp":"Aphra Brandreth MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Corby and East Northamptonshire","ons_code":"E14001179","mp":"Lee Barron MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kettering","ons_code":"E14001311","mp":"Rosie Wrighting MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"North Shropshire","ons_code":"E14001398","mp":"Helen Morgan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South Leicestershire","ons_code":"E14001488","mp":"Alberto Costa MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":4},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":6},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
