Change Prime Minister's Questions to Prime Minister's Answers

Amend the title of the Wednesday afternoon debacle currently known as Prime Minister's Questions to reflect the current habit of avoiding the question and answering another unconnected one.

Why is this important?

PMQs is watched worldwide and is an embarrassment to this country. The deliberate avoidance of every single question is a pathetic, transparent effort at dodging every important issue, and it needs to be addressed.

So change the name, and insist that questions are actually answered to the satisfaction of the questioner - not because of time constraints or any other excuse - and the house will sit and go nowhere until that is done.
