Petition Action

Ensure MP's provide clear and direct answers to questions, without evasion.

Petition Details

I’d like the Government or Parliament to make sure that MPs give clear and honest answers to questions at the dispatch box, rather than avoiding them or using vague language. The speaker must set standards and force them to answer.

Additional Information

It’s important that the public can trust what’s being said and feel confident that politicians are being open and transparent.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

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.
