Start independent investigation on all British people disclosed by Panama papers
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
In a time when the government is imposing budget cuts, which directly impact many public services (NHS, benefits system, libraries, school, etc). It is immoral and inhumane to not pursue people who stash money in offshore accounts to avoid paying tax.
So we demand that the Government launches an Independent investigation into the financial affairs of all UK citizens named in the Panama papers. The government should also continue to work unilaterally and multilaterally with other Governments to reduce this social evil.
