Petition · past parliament

Make all members of Parliament pass regular drug and alcohol tests

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

As a utility worker I work hard and am drug free. I am subject to random drug and alcohol tests, with my employer having a zero tolerance policy. I feel as MP's are in a position of power, they too should be drug free, and able to prove it at the request of the population.

Why it was rejected

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

Make it law that all members of Parliament take regular drug and alcohol tests.
