Mr Andrew Lansley

Mr Charles Walker

Amendment (a)

Mr Graham Allen

Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘believes that the House of Commons should have its own e-Petitions website, administered and controlled by this House and separate from that of the Government, though for cost saving purposes sharing the existing Government platform, that any hon. Member should be able to propose an e-Petition for debate, regardless of the number of signatures the e-Petition has obtained, that the Backbench Business Committee should allocate time on Mondays in Westminster Hall for debates arising from e-Petitions directed to the House of Commons, but that any debate on a petition directed to Government should take place in Government time, that members of the public should be provided at the gateway to the websites with full information about how to ensure a petition is in order and to which institution their petition should most appropriately be directed, and that the House’s e-Petitions websites should make it clear that the public may choose instead to contact their local hon. Member about an issue directly; and invites the Procedure Committee, consulting as appropriate with the Government, the Backbench Business Committee and any other interested parties, to develop a system meeting these objectives and to return to the House with proposals which may be implemented from the start of the next Parliament.’.
