Petition · past parliament

ALL members of the House of Lords & Commons to undergo random drug tests.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

In the wake of another scandal in the House of Lords I would like ALL members the House of Lords and the House of Commons to undergo regular random drug tests. This happens in many other civil service positions of responsibility and should be extended to Peers and MPs.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

Make it law for all members of parliament to be randomly/regularly drug tested.

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
