Legislation must also be introduced to prevent the abuse of this system, especially the wilful withdrawal of a contract in order to sell the consumer a new one.\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2011-12-04T14:22:39.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:41.562Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-12-05T08:36:13.000Z","closed_at":"2012-12-05T08:36:13.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-12-04T14:22:39.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":25064,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/25064.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Notify the public when a paedophile moves into an area with a high population of children","background":null,"additional_details":"The police to inform residents when a convicted paedophile is released into an area within a mile of schools, parks and housing with a high density of children.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2011-12-05T12:31:09.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:27:41.819Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2011-12-09T08:16:56.000Z","closed_at":"2012-12-09T08:16:56.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-12-05T12:31:09.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":25074,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/25074.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"Free Schools PSHE - Learning about \"stable relationships\" not \"the importance of marriage\"","background":null,"additional_details":"This e-petition calls for references to marriage being removed from The Free School Model Funding Agreement and Academy Model Funding Agreement, July 2011 and all documents that supercede in relation to sex and relationship education.
