Introduce a Law which makes it a Criminal Offence for MPs to Lie

Petition Details

There are now examples of MPs making demonstrably false statements in order to achieve particular outcomes. Such behaviour is wrong, and in other professions it would not be allowed. I propose that Parliament introduce an Act to make it a criminal offence for MPs to lie, with appropriate penalties
