Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you would like to see. The House of Commons already has rules about MPs' financial interests. The full rules are set out in the House of Commons Code of Conduct:

If there is a specific change that you would like to be made to the rules, you could start a petition asking for that change.
