The British Petitions Committee has scheduled a debate on a Petition on the WHO International Health Regulations legislation
Monday 18 December at 11.30 am (London Time). The Department of Health and Social Care will send a Government Minister to respond.
Debates on e-petitions take place in Westminster Hall, the second chamber of the House of Commons. These are ‘general debate' motions expressed in neutral terms. These motions are worded ‘That this House has considered [a specific matter]'. This means that MPs taking part in the debate will not vote on the request of the petition at the end of the debate.
