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 Ministers are responsible for answers to questions.

Background
PMQs should provide meaningful scrutiny, not political point-scoring. When ministers avoid questions, the public lose faith in the process. Requiring clear answers and stronger moderation would improve respect, restore accountability, and ensure PMQs fulfils its purpose as a forum for democratic oversight.
