UK What are E-Petitions? | House of Commons

Source: United Kingdom UK Parliament (video statements)

An e-petition is an online petition to the House of Commons or the Government started by a member of the public on the e-petitions website.

E-petitions receive a Government response if they have 10,000 signatures or more. The Petitions Committee considers e-petitions for a debate if they have 100,000 signatures or more.

The Committee will only consider petitions which people have started on the UK Government and Parliament petitions website.

E-petitions stay open for six months, or until the end of the Parliament (whichever comes first), after which they are closed.

Find open, debated, and responded-to petitions, or submit your own, on the e-petitions website: https://petition.parliament.uk/
