Statutory requirement that all e-petitions over 100,000 signatures must be debated in HoC
As of 4th November 2011 of the five e-petitions that have passed 100,000 signatures only three will be debated...
E-petitions represent the concerns of the public at large and if 100,000 people are concerned about a certain issue then a debate should be held on it in the House of Commons - it should not be ignored for "lack of time" or any other reason.
Sign up to campaign for a statutory requirement to debate issues that the public deems important. Remember MPs are elected to represent you...
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
