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

The 11th Global Forum of the UN Alliance of Civilizations opened in Riyadh this Sunday.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres opened the Conference by recalling the audience: ‘Twenty years ago, we launched an initiative to help show that humanity – in all its diversity – could talk, listen, and build together. Today, that vision is more urgent, than ever. Bringing it to life requires the timeless tools of dialogue and diplomacy.’
The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) will conclude operations this month, but UN support for Iraq will continue, Secretary-General António Guterres said at a joint press conference with the Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani in Baghdad on Saturday.
‘Against all odds, the Iraqi people never wavered in their commitment to building a peaceful, inclusive society based on the rule of law and democratic institutions,’ he said.
