That's exactly why we want the petitions committee to be able to bring forward petitions for debate that fall well short of 100,000 signatures. Let's give an example. We are a much more populated country than you, obviously, and a tiny geographical region, but we still have parts of the country that not a lot of people live in. So let's say in Cumberland, in the north of England, there's an issue around fracking in a community of 30,000. If 15,000 or 20,000 of the 30,000 sign a petition expressing concern on this, I would sincerely hope the petitions committee would look at it very sympathetically.
Now, the chances are, to be honest, that the local member of Parliament would arrange debates on the floor of the House of Commons anyway, because obviously we all take an interest in what's going on in our constituencies. But that is why you do need that flexibility within the petitions committee to make sure that all voices are heard, not just the organizations that are best at marshalling those voices in the most densely populated areas, say London or Manchester or one of the big cities.
