Halt parliamentary recesses & party conferences to enable attention on Brexit.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We are due to leave the EU on 31st October. Parliament is due to be in recess from 25th July to 3rd September. The Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats are due to hold party conferences each lasting four days.

Let's defer all of this activity for 2019, so MPs can focus on resolving Brexit.
