What the petition asks

Boris Johnson said in his first speech in Parliament: "Let’s start now to liberate the UK’s extraordinary bioscience sector from anti genetic modification rules and let’s develop the blight-resistant crops that will feed the world."
This has raised concerns that present GMO regulations will change.
