Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government and Parliament do not have the power to start a criminal investigation. That would be a matter for the police.

We already have a petition calling for an independent inquiry, which you might like to sign instead:

Launch independent UK inquiry into the Panama Papers
