I mentioned this story a few months back. Good news for pro-lifers who rely on electronic petitions, which previously couldn’t be submitted to the House of Commons:
Having successfully garnered the approval of the House, Stewart’s proposal will now be sent to the procedure and house affairs committee, which will have 12 months to come up with a plan to turn his vision for an e-petition system into parliamentary reality.
Chief among the questions with which the committee has been tasked is the threshold for triggering a special House debate, particularly the number of signatures that would be required, and how many MPs would have to sign on as sponsors.
