Grant Shapps MP (P2)
I was one of those who pushed for e-petitions
to be accepted by the House. However, I was not envisaging that
this would require a separate 10 Downing Street e-petition system
to be set up, rather that where petitions "signatures"
had been collected electronically, rather than on paper, that
as long as basic information including name, address and IP address
were recorded, then that information should be accepted by the
House as an additional name added to a petition.
There is no reason for the added expense or
for a separate petition collection system (like the 10 Downing
Street one) to be set up at all in my view.
