Politicians should be breathalised before entering the house of commons/lords.

Petition Details

It is not acceptable that our so called peers can make decisions about our future whilst under the influence of alcohol. They should be breathalysed before entering any official place of business, and if found to be intoxicated they should be punished accordingly.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure exactly how you would like this to work. For example, we're not sure how you'd like "any official place of business" to be defined for an MP. We're also not sure whether you'd like tests for alcohol consumption to be done on entering the House of Commons or the House of Lords Chamber, or on entering the parliamentary estate. We're also not sure what level of alcohol consumption you mean by "intoxicated".

You may wish to sign this petition instead:

Otherwise, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
