Petition Action

Government to debate all 100k plus signed petitions in parliament.

Petition Details

It is clear that parliament has only discussed petitions that they choose relevant to debate about. The current UK government need to reform some faith from its public who it serves. A good start by doing this is to listen to its voting public and debate all 100k plus signatures in parliament.

Additional Information

Evidence is clear, only a select few petitions get debated in parliament.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Government doesn't decide which petitions are debated in Parliament. The Petitions Committee, a cross-party group of MPs, decides which petitions should be debated. The Committee does sometimes decide not to schedule a debate on an e-petition - usually if the issue has already been debated recently or there’s a debate scheduled for the near future.

If you would like the Government to have control over which petitions are debated in Parliament, you could start a petition calling for that.

If you would like a requirement that all petitions over 100,000 signatures are debated, even if they are on a subject that has already been debated recently, you could start a petition calling for that.
