The delegation learnt that the United Kingdom primarily makes use of a paper-based petition system. It was reported that although it is an old system, it is a highly treasured one. There was a move to an electronic system of petitions, but it did not come to fruition as planned. Subsequently, some concerns were raised in the use of petitions. The system and process could be downloaded from the internet. Outside bodies predominately had constituted the committee. The system was open to mockery, especially as television personalities such as Jeremy Charles began to be more critical and also campaigned to be Prime Minister. Petitioning parliament became a serious matter, and any member of parliament could take up the matter and present from the floor. Government is expected to respond on the basis of whatever had been presented.
