Debate Brexit petitions in the House of Commons Chamber. Party leaders present.
April 1st: a handful of MPs debated 3 Brexit petitions (including the 6 million signature Article 50 one) in a side chamber. Hours later Commons held indicative votes on these topics without time to review the debate. Brexit and 'the will of the people' are too important to be dismissed in this way.

MP Jenny Chapman put it best when she stated "clearly we have not had a debate."
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:
We can't accept your petition because it's not the responsibility of the UK Government and Parliament to decide whether party leaders attend a debate. That is a decision for them.
The Petitions Committee cannot schedule debates on e-petitions in the main chamber. You could start a new petition calling for it to be given that power if that is something you would like to see happen.
