make it compulsory for all MP's to attend every debate
MP's only turn up at debates that concern them but every issue deserves equal attention. an example of this negligence is the debate on "support for young people suffering with mental health" only had a small handful of MP's there and its disgraceful.
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:
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because this would be a decision for the individual MPs and not the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.
In any case, MPs would not be able to attend all debates, because some of them happen at the same time. Also, there's other parliamentary business going on in the House of Commons at the same time as debates in the main chamber and Westminster Hall, for example Select Committee meetings.
Generally, MPs are more likely to attend a debate if their constituents ask them to do so. You can find out who your MP is and how to contact them here:
