Ban the use of mobile phones by MPs in the House of Commons chamber: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/654597
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or House of Commons are directly responsible for, and decisions about conduct in the House of Lords chamber are a matter for the House of Lords, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
