We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament as a whole aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Order in the Commons is the responsibility of the Speaker personally, and the Prime Minister is responsible for answers to questions.

Background
The Prime Minister or their representative deliberately ignore answering questions from the elected members of parliament with either waffle or a prepared Government statement. The speaker should be allowed to intervene and insist that a pertinent answer always be given.
