More details

After the whip was used to enforce the party line over the referendum on EU membership, I propose that any publicly demanded debate should be a mandatory free vote

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

Whipping is a matter for political parties and not HM Government

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
