Petition · past parliament

Cancel the Parliamentary Summer Recess - 21st July to 5th September 2016.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Following the EU referendum the country needs the total attention of Parliament. It is a time of crisis requiring discussion, debate and action. A break of over 6 weeks from Parliament is totally unacceptable and must be cancelled.

Why it was rejected

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

British Parliment should not have a summer recess this year.
