A full independent investigation into PIE (Paedophile Information Exchange).

Closed 585 signatures

What the petition asks

PIE (Paedophile Information Exchange) should be investigated by government in a independent inquiry too establish if any funding by the government were made and any unlawful activities have been going on within the group or its members.
PIE was set up as a special interest by founding member Michael Hanson. The group's stated aim was "to alleviate suffering of many adults and children" by campaigning to abolish the age of consent thus legalising sex between adults and children. In March 2014, evidence emerged that PIE had received grants totalling £70,000 from the Home Office. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paedophile_Information_Exchange
