Does the PM read every petition personally?

Was just looking at the Number 10 petition website and read the following rather startling message:

Notice: Submission of new petitions will be closed until 7th September while the Prime Minister is away from Number 10.

Does this mean that the PM personally approves every new petition before it goes on the website?? I think we should be told....

Probably too busy doing the right thing and getting on with the job of saving the World to read petitions containing information which might create dissonance with his preconceptions.

No he doen't. He has guys who act as post people sending petitions to what they consider to be the most relevant department for a response, which sadly is often irrelevant by not addressing the issue in the petition.
