Petition · past parliament

Cancel or drastically shorten all Parliamentary recesses due to Brexit crisis

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Irrespective of partisan views on Brexit, the entire process has become an uncontrolled, chaotic mess. Yet the government has proposed starting summer recess early, in the middle of key debates on Customs and Trade. Parliament needs more time to debate & work through these issues, & more - not less.
