Petition Force ministers to retract untrue or misleading statements

More details

All too often ministers release so called 'facts' in their speeches which are later proven grossly inaccurate.

At the moment when this happens the minister or department does nothing which continues to mislead the public.

I propose that when their facts are proven untrue that the minister who issued the false statement publicly corrects the mistake and apologises to the public on record.
