What are petition debates?
Petition debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.
Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the issues raised in the petition at the end of the debate.
The Petitions Committee can only schedule debates on petitions to parliament started on petition.parliament.uk

Your phone’s warranty gets +12 MONTHS if repaired, and most household appliances are now covered by the new EU Right to Repair.
Do your devices benefit from the new EU repair rights? Most likely, yes. The new rules cover:
• washing machines and washer-dryers
• dishwashers
• refrigerating appliances
• electronic displays
• vacuum cleaners
• servers and data storage products
• smartphones, mobile phones, cordless phones and tablets (under newer rules)
• welding equipment
For details and exceptions: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_23_1795
The EU’s new Right to Repair makes repair easier, more affordable and more attractive.
It encourages repair both during and after the legal guarantee, including a 12-month extension of the legal guarantee if you choose repair. This is helping products last longer and reduces waste.
What does this mean for you? The new rules aim to:
• make it easier to choose repair over replacement
• improve access to repair services
• help you find repairers and sellers of refurbished goods
• promote more transparent repair conditions and prices
• support a more circular economy
With the help of the European Repair Information Form, you can compare repair conditions and prices, because the prices and conditions given to you by the repairer must stay valid for 30 days.
And from early 2028, a new European Online Platform for Repair will make it easier to find repairers near you or elsewhere in the EU.
