Rebeccaweb:
Hiya I was wondering if people can sign and distribute  my petition, it’s been approved by parliament today. The petition needs 10,000 signatures to get a response from parliament and 100,000 to have it debated in parliament.After years of been discriminated against, I have had enough and I have done a petition that has actually been approved by the government (for once) . This is what the petition will says, you will find the link below, thanking you in advance xx

"Ensure sex workers are not excluded from banking services

The Government should review current laws to ensure that people who work in the sex industry can access banking services. They are often refused bank accounts because of the nature of their jobs, even though it is completely legal and they pay tax. Sex workers also struggle with loans, mortgages etc.

I work in the sex industry and have been refused for 15 bank accounts because of the nature of my job even though it is completely legal and I am registered with HMRC. People should not be discriminated against because they work in the sex industry."

Done and if anyone's wondering, they ask whether you're a UK citizen and take your name, email address (which you then verify for your name to be added to the petition) and your postcode. They also state that your name won't be made public.

Rebeccaweb:
Thank you  :)  and yes I asked why people’s personal details were necessary and it is to ensure real signatures and not for peoples information to be published Xx also to ensure people can sign petition once.
