The announcement on 6th April that there will be a general election 6th May has temporarilly suspended the E-Petition system. This means that Chris Ingram's petition against the Tory plans for health and safety self regulation and repealing of various elementds of health and safety legislation is currently not available for support. In a response for support for the petition, the CWU's National Health, Safety & Environment Officer Dave Joyce, clarified the situation and responded; With this in mind, the petition will be re-launched after the general election. Chris Ingram said; " I am grateful for Dave's advice over the petition. I must admit that the timing of it was rather late considering the intention was to get the Labour Government to alert the public to the dangers of the Tory plans. However, irrespective of who forms the next Government, the aims of the petition are still valid and I will hope to re-launch the currently suspended petition after 6th May."
