What are petitions debates?
Petitions debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.
Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on food labelling and support for people with allergies at the end of the debate.
The Petitions Committee can only schedule debates on parliamentary e-petitions started on petition.parliament.uk
