Speaker of the House

[Beebo]

They have all, in recent memory, let the PM of the day get away with lies much of the time. None of them have made sure the PM actually answers the questions put to them at QT.

They don’t have the power to do that.

They don't often try to stop PMs telling lies. I can remember Blair telling a few porkies over WMDs in Iraq and getting away with it.

Surprisingly enough answering the questions asked doesn't seem to be part of the rules.

I know the rules don't allow MPs to call each other liars, but clearly clearly it's OK to actually tell lies.
