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.
