MPs to declare all investments, directorships and family conflicts of interest.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The register of interests is proven unsuitable for Mps with extra discoveries having been hi-lighted. Needs more direction and less ambiquity. And stated actions for breaches to compensate, and not just say SORRY.
Legislate to ensure MPs have FULL constituency resources and time, less distractions from elected role, to ensure value for money to tax payer and representation to constituency.

Why it was rejected

We understand that you are concerned about existing arrangements for MPs to declare interests, but we're not sure exactly how you would like these to be changed.
