<p>The Parliamentary e-petitions site is jointly owned by the Government and the House
of Commons, therefore any assessment of potential changes to the system would have
to be agreed between the Government and the House.</p><p>I have not had any discussions
to assess such changes to the e-petitions system, however the hon. Member may find
it reassuring to know that all petitions submitted are moderated by the staff of the
Petitions Committee before being published and opened for signing by the public. The
Committee staff ensure that all petitions adhere to the agreed standards which are
clearly displayed on petition.parliament.uk. The final decision on the admissibility
of an e-petition rests with the Petitions Committee itself.</p>
