Rejected petition Get the prime minister to answer questions from opposition benches

I’d like to see the prime minister answer opposition questions at prime ministers questions! Each week the public are fobbed off with pre written answers without answering the actual question which the general public want to hear the truthful answer to!

More details

I’d like to see parliament implement or at least the speaker of the house tell the prime minister that he needs to answer the actual question put to him and not waffle on about something that has nothing to do with the question presented to him! The public have a right to hear a truthful honest answer!
