UK Parliament Debates Farmers' Protest on 8th March @ 4.30 PM UK TIME
We did it! We have our debate in the UK parliament.!
A huge thank you to everyone who signed, shared and supported the petition.
The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) met yesterday and agreed to schedule a debate on our petition:
Urge the Indian Government to ensure the safety of protestors & press freedom
The debate will take place on Monday 8 March at 4.30 pm in Westminster Hall, which is the second debating chamber of the House of Commons. Westminster Hall has been temporarily relocated to a different room to ensure debates can take place in a Covid-secure way and with virtual participation.
A Member of the Petitions Committee will open the debate, followed by speeches from other MPs including front bench speakers from Opposition parties and a Minister.
Because of Covid restrictions, it is not possible to attend the debate in Westminster, but the debate will be broadcast online and you can watch it by visiting Parliamentlive.tv
