Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to know the number of accepted
petitions that the Prime Minister's Office has received in the last
10 years, broken down by the delivery format (online, postal etc)
and the total number of people who have signed each of the
petitions. I assume general statistical data must be kept on these,
given their central role in democratic political communication
between elections. This data is for an academic study analysing
what impact the internet has made to petitioning.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Scott Wright

Dear Sir or Madam, I wrote to you some time ago about petitions to
Downing Street and have not received a reply. It is now
significantly beyond the deadline and thus I am requesting a review
to see what is happening with my request.
Yours faithfully,
