Change Erskine May to make the PM and ministers answer questions honestly.
To amend Erskine May so that MP's and especially the PM bound to answer questions honestly. Kier Starmer has repeatedly dodged questions in the House of Commons giving off topic answers to questions that the public consider to be of the upmost importance, undermining trust in democracy.
This change would make Prime Minister’s Questions and other question‑time sessions more meaningful, force the Prime Minister and ministers to stop hiding behind spin, and hold the government to account in front of the public.
