Rejected petition Parliamentary Behavour During PMQs

More details

We would like the Speaker of the House of Commons to have more authority to require members of the House of Parliament to maintain decorum when sitting in the chamber. Particularly in relation to Prime Ministers Questions where there is often heckling, barracking and other disgraceful behaviour which should not be conducted by our elected leaders.

Our Parliament should be a respectable debating chamber to lead the nation and not be a bawdy theatre.

This request is irrespective of party politics and applies to all members.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

This is a matter for the House not for HM Government

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
