Petition to recall parliament from Easter recess early
Recall MP’s from recess so that there is proper parliamentary accountability and questioning relating to the current Covid-19 situation for the purposes of national interest and safety.
There is currently very little accountability, journalists are not asking national interest questions and no real debate or anybody able to hold the government to account regarding the current situation. Parliament should be sitting at this critical time.
