A plan to allow popular online petitions to be debated in Parliament within a year has been given the go ahead by the government.

Ministers will seek agreement with the authorities, including the House of Commons Procedure Committee, to give the petitions parliamentary time.

Those receiving most support - probably 100,000 signatures - would be debated, with some possibly becoming bills.

But Labour said the plans would mean "crazy ideas" being discussed by MPs.

Thank you Labour for finally admitting what many of us knew.  evil:

The annoying thing about this is they just did it... and when everybody voted to repeal the smoking ban they ignored it...  ::)

Another complete waste of public money...

Such as legal proceedings being taken for gross financial negligence? Would certainly explain why Labour are so against the idea.

He hasn't just recently worked it out, that will be one of a list of issues that Gordo will champion in order to give himself a chance at the next election. Expect to see a number of similar news reports coming up.
