What the petition asks
A Chinese consortium are trying to purchase a majority stake in National Grid's £11billion gas distribution network. The Prime Minister promised tighter regulations on foreign investments in the UK, it seems to be an empty promise. Our utilities need to stay under British control. Sign if you agree.
