Petition · past parliament

Hold a TV debate regarding the EU in/out

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to the lack of information and Government bias there should be a full TV debate with for and against candidates taking part.
Pamphlets are one sided and do not answer questions.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

It's the responsibility of the broadcasters to decide what programmes to show on television.
