If AI initiates the conversation, AI should identify itself.","committee_note":null,"state":"open","signature_count":14,"closing_date":"2027-04-16","created_at":"2026-09-15T10:28:53.266Z","updated_at":"2026-10-16T18:14:50.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-10-16T09:08:21.546Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-23T14:34:00.000Z","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":"Mike Wood","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":14}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Blaydon and Consett","ons_code":"E14001106","mp":"Liz Twist MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Broxbourne","ons_code":"E14001139","mp":"Lewis Cocking MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon South","ons_code":"E14001187","mp":"Rt Hon Chris Philp 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":2},{"name":"East Worthing and Shoreham","ons_code":"E14001218","mp":"Tom Rutland MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Horsham","ons_code":"E14001294","mp":"John Milne MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Spelthorne","ons_code":"E14001505","mp":"Lincoln Jopp MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stroud","ons_code":"E14001529","mp":"Dr Simon Opher MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Torridge and Tavistock","ons_code":"E14001552","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Cox KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dundee Central","ons_code":"S14000075","mp":"Chris Law MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe","ons_code":"W07000085","mp":"David Chadwick MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":5},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":4},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
