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, and Members are responsible for their answers to questions.

Background
Televised debates often show MPs shouting, interrupting, and avoiding questions, which would be unacceptable in any other workplace. This behaviour damages public trust and sets a poor example. Parliament should model respect, integrity, and accountability by ensuring proper conduct and meaningful, honest debate.
