Allow the speaker to force the PM to answer the question asked during PMQs

Allow the speaker to force the PM to answer the question asked during PMQs — 13 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Give the Speaker of the House the power to force the Prime Minister to answer the question asked rather than ignore the question.

Additional details

Prime Ministers Questions is a vitally important event which allows all members to ask the PM specific questions. It’s become clear that the PM uses this time to talk more about other parties and their actions rather than listening and answering the specific question asked.
