10 September 2019

Whether a petition is debated by the parliament depends on the decision of the parliament's Public Petitions Committee, and not on the number of signatures collected. Petitions are more likely to be referred to a subject committee of the parliament or to another public body, or the committee may decide to take no action at all.
