The debate was opened by Liz Twist MP, a member of the Petitions Committee.
Why is this petition being debated?
The Petitions Committee has the power to schedule debates on e-petitions in the House of Commons Second Chamber, Westminster Hall.
In deciding which petitions should be debated, it takes into account how many people have signed the petition, the topicality of the issue raised, whether the issue has recently been debated in Parliament, and the breadth of interest among MPs.
What will the petition debate achieve?
Debates on petitions in Westminster Hall are general debates about the issues raised by the petition.
MPs can discuss the petition and, if they wish, ask questions about the Government’s position on the issue or press the Government to take action.
A Government Minister takes part in the debate and answers the points raised.
These debates help to raise the profile of a campaign and could influence decision-making in Government and Parliament.
Petition debates in Westminster Hall cannot directly change the law or result in a vote to implement the request of the petition.
Creating new laws, or changing existing ones, can only be done through the parliamentary legislative process which involves a number of debates, and detailed consideration of the law in draft, in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
This process is normally started by the Government, although there are some ways in which individual MPs or members of the House of Lords who are not in the Government (known as "backbenchers") can ask Parliament to consider new laws.

STORYLINE:
British voters head to the polling booths on 6 May and in order for the opposition Conservative Party to win a majority in Parliament and wrest power away from the ruling Labour Party, it needs to gain at least 116 seats from its rivals.
Number 116 on that list - the seat that would put the Tories over the winning line - is the constituency of Waveney, which lies about 150 miles (240 kilometres) northeast of London.
Local residents bemoan the chronic unemployment and the decline of the area''s economy, which once relied on fishing.
Candidates from Labour and the Conservatives have both been on the streets meeting voters to pump up support for their campaigns.
Waveney comprises the historic port town of Lowestoft and its rural hinterland.
The elections may not signal a new dawn for Britain, but for fishermen here in the country''s most easterly port, hopes are rising that politicians will take more notice of the area''s decline.
Just a few decades ago scores of fishing boats, including deep sea trawlers and smaller vessels, made Lowestoft one of the country''s busiest fishing ports.
Nowadays only a few craft ply the seas and often there is little to buy at the morning wholesale fish auction market, next to the wharves.
Donny Cole, current elder of a long family line of fish merchants, bemoans the loss.
Fish wholesaling is a cutthroat business, and although the Coles have weathered the recent economic storm, workers like Mark Harvey worry for their jobs.
Daniel Edwards, a 20-year-old local resident, has been looking for work for half a year.

Eddie Hughes MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Rough Sleeping & Housing, will update the House of Commons on the Levelling Up Fund to improve local communities by investing in local infrastructure.
Ministerial statements are a way for Ministers to bring an important matter to the attention of the House, often at short notice. Government Ministers may make oral statements to Parliament which usually address major incidents, government policies or actions. These take place after Oral Questions and any granted Urgent Questions. After making a statement the Minister responds to questions on its topic from MPs. An hour is allocated for this. Commons statements will sometimes be repeated in the Lords at an appropriate time to fit in with the main business.

Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two.
