Rejected petition: Ensure all PMQs questions receive clear and accurate answers.
Rejected on
The Speaker should be responsible for ensuring ministers give clear answers and that MPs are heard without distraction, supporting transparency for both Parliament and the public.
PMQs should provide meaningful scrutiny, not political point-scoring. When ministers avoid questions, the public lose faith in the process. Requiring clear answers and stronger moderation would improve respect, restore accountability, and ensure PMQs fulfils its purpose as a forum for democratic oversight.
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 Ministers are responsible for answers to questions.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
