Given his response to his current predicament being "Yeah? And? What you going to do about it?", I can't see him losing too much sleep over this. |  |

Was going to say the same.
Johnson replied: “Obviously the honourable lady is bringing me news about the schools in her constituency. What I can tell her is that we’re investing more in every primary school in this country.”
Cool I guess? You shouldn't be able to do that. I know politics is all about basically just not answering the question, but it's utter boll0cks that you can give an absolutely non-response and just move on. Should be forced to give an adequate answer to the question. |  |

The question is, what kind of provisions or sanctions can be put into place to force politicians out of this kind of behaviour they've become accustomed to and who would enforce them? | |

Not sure about sanctions, but I don't see why the Speaker could not enforce that adequate answers are given to questions and actually followed up on.
This is all standard stuff people have to do at jobs every damn day. | |

There was that case recently when someone tried to do Boris for lying in public office (or something) over the bus thing but no joy. Apparently, its impossible to police, but why? | |

Eventually there has to be a reason why Johnson would feel obligated to reply though, otherwise he'll just end up filibustering. | |

In that case, it would either have to be some sort of fine or other punishment. Not entirely sure what is available. I know what you mean, but it would look really damn stupid if when asked a simple question that you don't answer for 30 minutes because you're a stubborn twit.
And lets face it, this has been going on for years and happens regularly, they'd need to do a LOT of it. | |

You're probably on to something with the idea to refuse to move on until an actual answer is given. | |

It then becomes a qualitative issue though which would bog down parliament in even more semantics than it currently is.
Not sure how we unpickle this particular herring. | |

Surely it's to begin to explain why, when they're eighteen, these kids still won't have seen brexit delivered.
Although they will have seen boris's corpse rotting on a gibbet on Tower Hill. |  |

I don't know when or if the process for questions in the House has changed, but it used to be like this.
An MP could only ask an initial question the required a factual answer, typically 'what are the Minister's diary commitments for the next week?', or 'How many guns do the army have?'.
The answer would then be given, and the original questioner could then ask a 'supplementary' question. This would take as a starting point the initial answer and get onto the issue the questioner really wanted to raise.
So if the Minister answered his diary commitments for the coming week were a visit to a tractor factory, a meeting with an Andorran trade delegation and various meetings with Cabinet colleagues and officials, the supplementary might be that 'it is a shame the Minister hasn't time in his diary to visit my constituency where he'd see the appalling effects of his ethnic cleansing policy.'
When questions are tabled, the appropriate policy-making civil servants have to produce answers to all the possible supplementary questions, based on knowledge of the MP's particular interests, constituency issues. The Minister has all of these answers available to him in the house (that's what those folders you see them with contain).
There was at least one occasion many years ago, when a nervous new minister facing his first questions, just read everything out in answer to the initial question. | |

Maybe just copy paste like Grant Shapps from the previous minister's speeches.

Chris Grayling is my favourite politician of the modern era. A comedic blessing in amongst all the machiavellian c*ntishness circling him. I reckon he had to ask other MPs to tie his shoelaces for him on the way into the chamber. I know he cost the taxpayer a lot of unnecessary cost, but I am happy to have chipped in for the lols.
Schapps is not a funny man. A poor Chris Grayling tribute act, does not a successful minister make. |  |

There's a board game in that.
Ask someone a question and they have to answer without actually answering. Winner gets a mandate to cause untold political, economic and social upheaval. | |
