The Government should introduce legislation to make lying in the House of Commons a criminal offence. This would mean that all MPs, including Ministers, would face a serious penalty for knowingly making false statements in the House of Commons, as is the case in a court of law.
No,it was a petition from 2021,it was debated, and the government response was that they have no intention of introducing legislation of this kind.
It was not debated in 2021. It will be debated in October 2023.
The govt response in 2021 was because it reached the lower threshold (10,000?) for a response. Now it’s over the 100,000 required for a debate.
Thanks for the clarification
My understanding is that it was responded to, but not debated.
