Ban mobile phones in the House

What the petition asks
After seeing the reactions to the call for George Osborne to apologise all we can see from the Tory front bench is laughing at their mobile phones and texting. The use of mobile phones at work is generally banned and I think the same rule should stand in Parliament.
