MPs to declare their financial interest in the EU making them public

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There needs to be a explanation to explain why so much effort is going on in parliament to overturn democracy?

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 a Code of Conduct for MPs, who are required to register and declare their financial interests, so we're not sure what action you'd like to see.

You can find the Code of Conduct for the House of Commons here:

https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/code-of-conduct-and-rules-of-the-house/

Complaints about breaches of the House of Commons Code of Conduct are investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, who is independent of Parliament and Government. You can find out more about the Commissioner and her role here:
