Force MP's and LORDS to declare any personal advantage from Remaining in the EU

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Because of difficulties facing BREXIT, to make its passage through Parliament, ALL MP'S OR LORDS that have a financial interest, either personally or through family, in our remaining should be FORCED TO DECLARE IT and in doing so FORFEIT their right to vote on ANY BREXIT BILL(Conflict of Interests)

MP's and Lords should not be allowed to vote against the Majority to further their personal wealth. If they are in any way receiving payments from the EU they should not be allowed to vote against our leaving. If they withhold the truth about their situation, they should forfeit all Honours and Never Return to Parliament or stand for office

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Both the House of Commons and House of Lords already have Codes of Conduct for their Members. Members are already required to register and declare financial interests, so we're not sure what action you'd like to see.
