Last month I drew attention to the straw poll conducted by Current Archaeology. The results are out (CA 216 March 2008). 96% voters were 'in favour of a nationally co-ordinated PAS scheme and database'. There were 527 votes.
There is still voting on the website. 690 people have voted with 94.2% in favour of the national scheme.
The Downing Street petition closes on this Wednesday, February 13. UK citizens can add their names to the 2025 existing signatories.
