Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is the responsibility of the House of Lords. We can only accept petitions about things that the Government or the House of Commons are responsible for.
In any case, we're not sure exactly what you would like to happen. The House of Lords already has a Codes of Conduct for their Members. Members are already required to register and declare financial interests, and avoid conflicts of interest, so we're not sure what action you'd like to see.
