Investigate if some MPs have a conflict of interest in voting over Brexit and WA

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Could the British MPs be profiteering by Brexit or a particular type of Brexit? Are they in a position to book profit by voting a particular way? Are they moving their money out of UK and/or making money from Brexit? Is it in their personal interest to leave EU? Can we rule out conflict of interest?

Please investigate if the MPs have any conflict of interest by voting on Brexit. It is rumoured that some MPs have either already moved their money out of the UK or are are looking to move their money outside UK to book profit from Brexit and/or a particular type of Brexit. Should the MPs be allowed to profiteer in this way, showing a complete disregard to the British people?

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Investigating whether MPs have broken their Code of Conduct is the responsibility of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, not the UK Parliament and Government as a whole.
