David Howarth will be presenting a Public Petition to the House of Commons. Petitions are used by MPs to inform the Government about an issue on which their constituents hold strong views. If an MP is formally presenting the petition, as David Howarth will be, they make a brief statement explaining how the petition is from and the petitioners’ concerns.
In this case, David hopes to encourage other MPs in the House to sign the ‘Prayer’ Early Day Motion against the automatic acceptance of the revisions to the Highway Code. ‘Prayers’ such as this can lead to a proper parliamentary debate on the issue and the chance for the House to vote against the proposals.
(Please also sign the online Petition to the Prime Minister, which is separate.)
