Rejected petition Hold MPs to account for claims made about misrepresenting evidence & statistics.

During Brexit a number of claims were made by MPs which were, at best, debatable in accuracy. Some false, therefore deliberately misleading.

Recently MPs and official departmental staff have been accused of making claims of similar questionable honesty and of misusing and misrepresenting data.
