Parliament must take over e-petitions,' says Hansard Society

11 Jun 2012

A new 'Briefing Paper What Next for E-Petitions?' published by the Hansard Society examines the problems with the UK Government's current e-petitions system and calls for Parliament to take over ownership and responsibility for e-petitions from the government. It also calls for the House of Commons to establish a new Petitions Committee to deal with public petitions in the future.
