Ensure all PMQs questions receive clear and accurate answers.

Ensure all PMQs questions receive clear and accurate answers. — 9 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

The Speaker should be responsible for ensuring ministers give clear answers and that MPs are heard without distraction, supporting transparency for both Parliament and the public.

Additional details

PMQs should provide meaningful scrutiny, not political point-scoring. When ministers avoid questions, the public lose faith in the process. Requiring clear answers and stronger moderation would improve respect, restore accountability, and ensure PMQs fulfils its purpose as a forum for democratic oversight.
