From banning digital ID cards to publishing child sex offender data: The top 10 parliamentary petitions people in Wolverhampton are backing
British citizens or UK residents can create parliamentary petitions online, with the Petitions Committee checking they meet the standards to be published.
Only citizens and residents can sign these petitions and are required to provide a valid UK postcode and verify their email.
The Government must respond to petitions that gain 10,000 signatures.
And when 100,000 signatures are reached, the Government will debate the issue. However, MPs can consider a petition for debate before it reaches this target.
As of December 19, figures from the UK Government and Parliament show the most popular active petitions in the three Wolverhampton constituencies. See the results for each area below.
