What the petition asks
The government recently announced that uk money laundering rules will not be applied to MP's. The public need to know that MP's are working for the country and not engaging in activity that's illegal for the public.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
MPs are not excluded from money laundering laws. We think you're referring to the Bank of England and Financial Services Bill, which is currently before Parliament. That Bill will regulate "politically exposed persons", including MPs and their families. You can find out more about what the Bill says about this here:
