Change Parliamentary rules to make the punishment for lying more severe.
At the moment it seems acceptable to lie to the Commons and wrong to call out the lies. This cannot be right.
Change Parliamentary rules so that lying to the Commons is a legally punishable offence, like Perjury, and make it acceptable for an MP to be able to call out the lies.
