Cancel Parliament summer holiday to discuss plans following EU Referendum result
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
Parliament has now gone on a prolonged summer holiday from 21 July 2016 until 5 September 2016 despite a referendum vote being cast to leave the EU. MP's should now be working overtime to discuss the future of the UK.
This is the biggest transformation in generations and needs complete focus to ensure that the UK is best placed if or when Article 50 is triggered.
MP's will lose 31 working days due to this summer holiday which is not in the nations best interests.
