I feel that the State Pension is not a benefit but a payment you receive back that you have paid into since you started working.
Require explicit consent for selling and sharing, for money, any personal data
- 59 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 183 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
Currently, personal data can be shared if one of several conditions is met, depending upon the context. I would like a change to legislation so that personal data can only be sold and/or shared for money, if explicit written consent is given by the person to whom the data belongs.
Set a cap for liquidator fees
- 32 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 181 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Currently the law sets out how fees can be calculated, but it doesn't set a cap on those fees. I've found it can take years and you might not retrieve enough money to pay the liquidator fees. I want a cap on the portion liquidators can take from investment retrieved in the liquidation process.

Disregard all military pension schemes for tax and other benefit entitlements
- 32 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 175 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
Military pensions are subject to income tax, and many state benefits are reduced due to income from military pensions, including the War Disablement Pension and associated supplements. We think all military pensions should be disregarded for calculating tax and other benefit entitlements.
Remove the need for employers to apply for work permits for staff under 16
- 41 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 154 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
We think the Government should remove the need for employers to apply for work permits for their staff under 16. This should make it easier for younger people to experience working without needing a permit, and could open up more opportunities for them.

Make it a specific criminal offence for lenders to retain money or assets when it has been proven that a loan was secured fraudulently, such as when someone has been convicted for securing a loan by using a fraudulent signature.
Review legislation governing the admissibility of computer evidence
- 132 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 142 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Legislation limiting the admissibility of computer evidence was repealed in 1999, and we want the Government to review current rules on the admissibility of computer evidence, and implement any necessary reforms, such as a legally binding duty to disclose any known defects in the computer system.

- 51 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 137 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
I would like the Government to base entitlements for Universal Credit and tax-free childcare allowances on the income of the individual claimant, and to disregard the income of any partner.
