This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

SO No 24 debates can only take place on days on which the House of Commons is sitting, so cannot be scheduled when Parliament is prorogued.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
