Make lying in Parliament a criminal offence

Petition Details

It's ridiculous that lying under oath in court is a crime, which can lead to a custodial sentence, but MPs and members of the House of Lords can lie in Parliament and not face any consequences.

Additional Information

It should be made a criminal offence for MPs and members of the House of Lords to lie in Parliament.
