Rejected petition Reprimand any MP who falls asleep whilst carrying out their duty.

It is a blatant disrespect of the general public that an MP falls asleep during debates within the house of Commons, in any other job that individual would be sacked.

More details

Many MP's have fallen asleep but to see Diane Abbott asleep on the front row during debates is unacceptable and this unprofessional act needs to be addressed and the speaker should actively address them.
