To: The Speaker of The House of Commons
END UNRULY BEHAVIOUR DURING PRIME MINISTERS QUESTIONS
We demand that The Speaker enforce strict discipline during PMQ's, with zero tolerance of barracking, baying, heckling and jeering while MPs are addressing The House, by the use of sanctions - including: formal public reprimand, expulsion for the session or term, fines, etc., increasing for second and further offences.
Why is this important?
This behaviour is not only disrespectful and disruptive of proceedings (setting the worst example to the country and giving a terrible impression abroad), but it is used to bully and intimidate legitimate questioning of the PM by our elected representatives and shows contempt for the citizens of the country. There can be no justification for it and it must be stopped - the House of Commons is NOT a school debating society.
