PM to disclose interests her husband and self have regarding medicinal cannabis.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It has been disclosed via mainstream media that Teresa May and her Husband have financial interests in regards to medicinal cannabis yet as home secretary and as PM she has blocked any change in legislation. She has not commented on this matter but should explain this hypocrisy to the people.
So the PM's husband has a financial interest in medicinal cannabis yet she has on many occasions stated that there is "no medicinal value" as both the home secretary where she would've awarded licenses to grow cannabis for medicinal research and as PM where she allows the sale of medicinal cannabis to anyone other than the British people.

She must explain to the house and the people this level of hypocrisy.

Why it was rejected

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

The House of Commons already has rules that require MPs to register and declare financial interests. You can find out more about the rules here:

If you'd like a specific change to the rules, you could start a new petition asking for that change.
