Revoke rules against accusing MPs of deliberate falsehoods in House of Commons

Petition Details

The existing rules that prevent the accusing of MPs of ‘deliberate falsehoods’ in the House of Commons should be revoked.

Additional Information

The Ministerial code states “holders of public office should be truthful” and “It is of paramount importance that ministers give accurate and truthful information to parliament, correcting any inadvertent error at the earliest opportunity." Changing the rules would therefore support compliance with the Code, ensuring that any wrong information given by MPs is swiftly corrected. Those MPs that make accusations of dishonesty are sanctioned by the existing rules, which is wrong.
