MPs should be legally obliged to publish their annual tax returns.

What the petition asks

We need more transparency in public office. MPs are elected by the public and paid by the public purse. Being an MP should be a full-time job and payment for work outside office should be declared and open to scrutiny. Only by seeing this can the public decide if there is conflict of interests.
