A petition asking the government to vaccinate all children against Meningitis B has now garnered over 700,000 signatures, and as a result the government will now schedule a debate on the issue. It is the most signed petition in parliamentary history.
Any petition which receives 10,000 signatures automatically requires the government to respond, usually in the form of an open letter. If a petition receives 100,000 signatures or more, the government is then under a duty to consider holding a debate on the petition’s contents.
The campaign was started for two-year-old Faye Burdett, from Maidstone, Kent, who caught the infection and died after 11 days.
The government has now agreed to hold a debate, but before they do, they would like to hear from families who have been affected by Meningitis B, as well as medical experts. You can read the government’s update which was published this morning, below:
The Petitions Committee has agreed to schedule a debate on this petition.
Before setting a date for the debate, the Committee would like the House of Commons to have the chance to hear from some of the families who have been affected by meningitis B as well as from relevant medical experts. This will help to inform MPs taking part in the House of Commons debate.
More details about this will be announced in due course. We will keep you informed about what is happening and how you can get involved.
Thanks,
The Petitions team
UK Government and Parliament
We will publish further details as and when they come in.

The vaccine should be availiable to all. The Pharmaceutical companies should reduce the cost and not just to bulk buy!

In a court of law it clearly states all are innocent until proven guilty but the law is a law unto its self or as from the old days it was said the laws are for the rich, well this is perfectly true, is this why the closed family courts were set up because they certainly are for the rich how many children are taken from the rich and put into care????? how many children are allowed to speak in a court of their wishes and wants and should this happen and a judge agrees with a child’s wishes and wants the judges pass the buck back to the social services saying I hope the SS will agree with the child’s wishes and wants, well the SS do not, other wise money is lost on paying for contact centres the outside companies that are paid for supervising the contacts with the on going treatment of kids by S/W Psychologist anger management teams clinical social workers you name it and every kid in care is surrounded by an army but not the kids families, social workers are stopping contacts for families and children on a whim and yet they are not allowed to do so, I think who ever may reads this will be aware that children will continue to be screaming to be heard they are the silent witnesses and here lies the truth, hence we have the closed family courts for the rich.
Lets move on to fraud a well known accountant in Essex has stolen from me near to half a million pounds it took me 4 years to produce all evidence for the police who at first said its a civil matter you gave him the money bye bye, the accountant was finally found guilty on 6 charges of fraud and not a thing was done for justice or to return my money because he did a deal with the CPS and said if I have to pay back Maggie Tuttle then I will blow the whistle on the money laundering in Essex by the big guys he walked from court laughing and to continue with his frauds, I have asked the court for the judgment so that I can bring the man to court but I have to pay the court many thousands of pounds, so where are the laws for the people, again it is for the rich .
And yet in a court of law it clearly states all people are innocent until proven guilty so are the closed family courts who steal thousands of kids a year telling the world that thousands of families a year are guilty of a crime and lose their kids and are not sentenced to prison or fines so where is the evidence as again
THE LAW STATES IT IS A CRIME TO ABUSE A CHILD PSYICALLY OR MENTALLY AND CAN OR MAY CARRY A PRISON SENTENCE, the only sentence for the families is their Kids sold to the fostering and adoption agencies with many never to see their children again and the rich in powers getting richer from the children screaming to be heard.
I have not read of one law that gives justice for the nations people and it is about time that the British Government was bought to account.
Vaccinations I recently asked a child in care aged 14 are you given many medications she said NO but I am fed up with all of the vaccinations they keep giving me, it is well known kids in care are used as guinea pigs and all for the rich and to control of the population.

800,000 people have now signed the petition!
It’s a shame that so many people are not aware and critical of the way the child protection system works in this country! It’s assumed that if a child is removed by social workers that the parents deserved it! It just doesn’t hit home until it becomes their reality and then it hits them like a sledgehammer!
