They should only remain in law if Parliament votes to renew them after a published review of whether they worked, their costs and benefits, and the burden on people and businesses. Core constitutional, criminal justice and emergency measures could be exempted. We think this would stop outdated rules lasting forever and make regulation more evidence-based.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":16,"closing_date":"2027-05-05","created_at":"2026-10-12T15:55:52.828Z","updated_at":"2026-11-13T19:25:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-11-05T10:09:36.817Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-12T16:03:40.000Z","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":"Jordan Jake Robinson","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"CO","name":"Cabinet Office","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/cabinet-office"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":16}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Brentwood and Ongar","ons_code":"E14001125","mp":"Alex Burghart MP","signature_count":1},{"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":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Harborough, Oadby and Wigston","ons_code":"E14001266","mp":"Neil O'Brien MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Isle of Wight East","ons_code":"E14001303","mp":"Joe Robertson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leicester West","ons_code":"E14001328","mp":"Rt Hon Liz Kendall MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Cornwall","ons_code":"E14001385","mp":"Ben Maguire MP","signature_count":6},{"name":"St Ives","ons_code":"E14001511","mp":"Andrew George MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tynemouth","ons_code":"E14001557","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Alan Campbell MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":4},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":7}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
