Rejected petition PM should answer the question in hand in PMQs, not retaliate oppositions past.

PMQS is an opportunity for the opposition party members to ask the prime minister questions about his policies and future plans. Time and time again we see him not address the question and just attack the opposition party for their past. Surely this is just playground banter and not acceptable.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It's clear that you are concerned about the conduct of Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons. However, it is not clear what action you would like to be taken to change this.

For example, it is not clear from your petition which individual or body you would like to be responsible for determining whether the Prime Minister had given an acceptable answer to a question.

If you could start a new petition with a clearer and more specific request for action, we could look at this again.
