  No,it was a petition from 2021,it was debated, and the government response was that they have no intention of introducing legislation of this kind.

    It was not debated in 2021. It will be debated in October 2023.

    The govt response in 2021 was because it reached the lower threshold (10,000?) for a response. Now it’s over the 100,000 required for a debate.

    My understanding is that it was responded to, but not debated.

  Well it’s not a proposed bill and they’ll do some hand wringing and say some platitudes but nothing will come of it because the government has other priorities.
