Probably just process. They'll send an updated fob off letter. Right wing gov that represents business, not people.

As with most of these petitions, this will very likely be heard in a mostly empty room unfortunately

Empty of MOPs? (Member of parliament) Is the public allowed to attend such hearings? If so, I doubt it'll be empty.

I'm pretty sure the public can't attend.

I've seen a few petitions get to this stage before and it's nearly always to a mostly empty room

The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) has considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt the response did not respond directly to the request of the petition. They have therefore asked the Government to provide a revised response. 

When the Committee receives a revised response from the Government, we will publish this and share it with you.

Is that the response where the took a wall of text to say "yeah it's probably already illegal but we're going to do nothing to hold companies to the law"?

Can you provide some context for this? Which petition is this about?
