EN1024 Parliament to sit more during the year

Dear Petitioner,


Recently you submitted a petition on the House of Representatives website with the following terms.

Petition number:	EN1024 (Please quote in future correspondence)
Date submitted:	16/08/2019

Terms:

• Reason: Parliament is empty more than 300 days a year. To the average voter it looks like MPs are doing very little and are in fact work shy. Parliament in Canada sits 140-160 days a year leaving more than 200 days a year for MPs to have their holidays and plenty time in their electorate.
• Request: We therefore ask the House to match the Canadian parliament and sit for 140-160 days a year.

Your petition was considered by the Standing Committee on Petitions at a recent meeting, and was found to meet the petition requirements. It is now available for signature online.


Signatures open: 11/09/2019  and can be made here
