Current Signatures	Title	Petition Deadline
365,508 Petition Closed	Make 'netting' hedgerows to prevent birds from nesting a criminal offence. Gov Responded - 4 Nov 2019 Debated on - 13 May 2019 View Norman Lamb's petition debate contributions	18 Sep 2019 closed 1 year, 2 months ago
Developers, and other interested parties are circumventing laws protecting birds by 'netting' hedgerows to prevent birds from nesting. This facilitates the uprooting of hedgerows which aid biodiversity and provide the only remaining nesting sites for birds, whose numbers are in sharp decline.
109,553 Petition Closed	Ban the sale of animal fur in the UK. Gov Responded - 28 Nov 2017 Debated on - 4 Jun 2018 View Norman Lamb's petition debate contributions	23 Mar 2018 closed 2 years, 8 months ago
Fur farming was banned in England and Wales in 2000, followed by Scotland in 2002. However fur products can still be legally imported from other countries and sold here in the UK. Much of this fur comes from countries that have very weak or no animal welfare laws at all.
113,284 Petition Closed	Change the laws governing the use of fireworks to include a ban on public use Gov Responded - 27 Oct 2017 Debated on - 29 Jan 2018 View Norman Lamb's petition debate contributions	6 Apr 2018 closed 2 years, 8 months ago
Fireworks cause alarm, distress and anxiety to many people and animals. We call on the Secretary of State to make appropriate provision to secure that the risk of public use is the MINIMUM that is compatible with fireworks being used, as stated in Fireworks Act 2003 sect 2.
117,716 Petition Closed	Make fair transitional state pension arrangements for 1950’s women Gov Responded - 27 Sep 2017 Debated on - 14 Dec 2017 View Norman Lamb's petition debate contributions	13 Mar 2018 closed 2 years, 8 months ago
That this Government without delay recognises the need for a non-means tested bridging pension for women born on or after 6/4/1950 who are affected by the 1995 and 2011 Pension Acts and compensate those at risk of losing up to around £45,000, to also give proper notification for any future changes.
