A plan to allow popular online petitions to be debated in Parliament within a year has been given the go ahead by the government.Ministers will seek agreement with the authorities, including the House of Commons Procedure Committee, to give the petitions parliamentary time.Those receiving most support - probably 100,000 signatures - would be debated, with some possibly becoming bills.But Labour said the plans would mean "crazy ideas" being discussed by MPs.
