Tom’s Law - Give police the power to suspend driving licences
Gov Responded - 11 Feb 2021 Debated on - 10 Jan 2022 View Stewart Hosie's petition debate contributionsclosed 1 year, 3 months ago
We want Police Officers to be able to provide a suspension notice from the moment an offender is caught drink, drug or dangerous driving until they appear in court. It would then be for the Judge to decide whether a ban continues or they are able to continue to drive again.
Petition Closed
To allow non-prescribed storage of Salbutamol Inhalers in Commercial Kitchens
Gov Responded - 25 Aug 2021 Debated on - 29 Nov 2021 View Stewart Hosie's petition debate contributionsclosed 8 months, 3 weeks ago
In 2014 the Human Medicines Act was amended so that schools could keep emergency stocks of salbutamol inhalers without prescription. Asthma is increasing in the UK and we believe that adult sufferers of Asthma working in high-risk commercial kitchens should have similar life-saving support.
Petition Closed
Introduce Mandatory Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting
Gov Responded - 30 Jul 2020 Debated on - 20 Sep 2021 View Stewart Hosie's petition debate contributionsclosed 1 year, 9 months ago
Much like the existing mandatory requirement for employers with 250 or more employees must publish their gender pay gap. We call upon the government to introduce the ethnicity pay gap reporting. To shine a light on race / ethnicity based inequality in the workplace so that they can be addressed.

Grant an urgent Amnesty to Undocumented Migrants living in the UK
Gov Responded - 18 Mar 2021 Debated on - 19 Jul 2021 View Stewart Hosie's petition debate contributionsclosed 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Undocumented Migrants are suffering in silence, with no access to adequate Financial support, or any help. The Government should grant an urgent Amnesty of 5years to those with no criminal record so that they could live their lives as normal human beings and pay tax to help the UK economy.

4 Written Questions in the current parliament
(View all written questions)The Department has a strong core of trade policy officials which has grown significantly since July 2016 (from 45 to approximately 575 currently) and is continuing to grow. Trade Policy Group is also supported by around 70 lawyers and 90 analysts.
The number of negotiators and the training they require is dependent on how many trade agreements are ongoing at any given time, the specific chapters in that negotiation and the complexity of that chapter. Negotiating teams will differ in sizes, with expertise relevant to the specific chapters of sectors.
