Rejected petition The Speaker must ensure that all questions at PMQs are properly answered.

We call on the Speaker to ensure that questions put at PMQs, by democratically elected representatives, on behalf of the public, are properly answered.

More details

PMQS is now a national embarrassment. Legitimate questions are frequently deflected or ignored by the Prime Minister, whilst the Speaker looks the other way. The decline in standards at PMQs is the responsibility of the Speaker. He must do his job and ensure that the public and questioner receive a proper answer to each question.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament as a whole aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Order in the Commons is the responsibility of the Speaker personally, and the Prime Minister is responsible for answers to questions.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
