What the petition asks
When directors of companies or MP's are involved in decision making where they have any financial or commercial interest, they are duty bound to declare that interest. The BBC coverage of the EU referendum can be seen as biased as they receive a grant from the EU.
BBC has received £2m in EU funding in run up to referendum, fuelling accusations of bias. (source Daily Telegraph)
