To: The Speaker in House of Commons

Discipline at Prime Ministers Questions

We ask that the Speaker in the Commons stops the shouting and bawling by Members when somebody is speaking and asks for a Member to leave the Chamber for repeating such behaviour.

Why is this important?

The shouting, cheering and bawling stifles debate and makes the issues discussed inaccessible to the electorate. It is also behaviour most people would be disciplined for in their place of work. It also discriminates against anyone with a quiet voice or speech problem.

It may have gone on for years but there no excuse for such childishness in the 21st century.
