Petition Action

Clean up PMQ’s to get answers to questions.

Petition Details

To rule that any Prime Minister must answer any question specifically and not deflect.

Additional Information

Make it a legal obligation to answer questions at PMQ’s.

Prime Minister’s Questions should be a forum for genuine accountability, not political theatre. Too often, direct questions from Members of Parliament are met with evasive responses, deflection, or partisan attacks that fail to address the issue raised. This hurts public trust and weakens democratic scrutiny. We call for clear rules requiring the Prime Minister to provide direct, relevant, and specific answers to the questions asked.
