Petition Amend standing orders: give right of reply to any MP/party mentioned in Commons
Amend the standing orders to give an automatic immediate right of reply to any MP or any party mentioned in any statement, question or answer in the House. We think this will deter MPs and Ministers from using parliamentary business to attack opponents.
More details
We believe we have seen PMQs used to attack opponents rather than answer questions, and that without a right of reply this causes an unfair and undemocratic advantage. There needs to be balance. Accordingly, any MP or party mentioned in any way in parliament should have an automatic immediate right of reply.
