This website currently contains responses to e-petitions that were submitted to the previous administration, via http://petitions.number10.gov.uk, prior to 6 April 2010.
Responses to e-petitions are compiled by the Cabinet Office in conjunction with relevant government departments. They are issued after an e-petition has closed with more than the 500 signature threshold and will appear here on a rolling basis at the same time they are e-mailed to all signatories.
As stated in Parliament by the Leader of the House of Commons, Sir George Young, on 2 December 2010, online petitions to the Coalition Government will be moving to DirectGov in 2011.
In line with the commitments in the Programme for Government published in May 2010, e-petitions that receive 100,000 signatures or more will be eligible for debate in Parliament.
Cabinet Office, Directgov and the Office of the Leader of the House of Commons are working together on the implementation of this system and further announcements will be made soon.
