Petition Require MPs to provide source for any statistic they use

More details

MPs use statistics to make a point but never credit the source of these statistics. Some are taken out of context to make a point that the source of the figures did not address.
I want the G'ment to require all MPs to credit where statistics come from.
This will not create extra work as I am sure all MPs check their sources before speaking in the house or writing these figures in documents / letters.
