Role to be created or absorbed in parliament to ensure PM answers all questions

Role to be created or absorbed in parliament to ensure PM answers all questions — 9 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Currently, the PM often uses pre-planned script to answer questions in PMQ's, often without any attempt to answer the question. The MP does then not get an opportunity to challenge. The PM should have a responsibility to answer the question and somebody should be enforcing this, in real time.

Additional details

Good questions get asked and we, the general public, want to hear the PM's answer. Currently, the PM just says what he feels we want to hear instead of actually facing the challenge of the opposition.
