11 new petitions have been published on the Chamber of Deputies' website on Tuesday.

Each petition has until 30 December to amass at least 4,500 signatures in order to be debated in the Chamber.

As usual the petitions cover a variety of topics, such as one requesting a school holiday reform. The petition asks to shorten the summer holidays and add to the autumn and spring half term holidays instead.

The 6 December, otherwise known as Kleeschen or St Nicolas' day, should become a public holiday, according to a second petition.

Another demands that electric scooters be banned in the Grand Duchy.

A fourth suggests acknowledging English as an administrative language in Luxembourg, while another requests that begging be banned.

The next public debate to take place following a petition will be on Monday afternoon, concerning the topic of tax reductions for singletons.
