Speaker (or Deputy) to mandate the Prime Minister answers questions during PMQs
Prime Minister's Questions has become a farce. It's no wonder it's called Prime Minister's Questions and not Prime Minister's Answers. I would like the speaker to ensure the PM answer the questions asked.
Too often the PM (current and previous) has used PMQs to recycle the same party lines / numbers / statistics around their self-perceived successes rather than actually answer the questions asked. At a time where trust in, and respect for politicians is low, answering questions in the forum of PMQs could go some way to repairing the damage.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament as a whole aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Order in the Commons is the responsibility of the Speaker personally, and the Prime Minister is responsible for answers to questions.
