This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Ban jeering and background noise from MPs in parliament
Ban all noise interference from MPs when questions are being asked and answers are being given. Eradicate the childish jeering, braying, booing and attempts to obfuscate in what should be a clear and professional atmosphere.
More details
The recent social distancing requirements have shown how much better the House of Commons runs when there are no mobs shouting from the back seats. The public can hear what is being said and there is no risk of important matters being drowned out by schoolboy tactics.
No office in the country would operate under such ridiculous conditions. Ban the baying crowds now and start acting like grown ups.
