Make tax returns for MPs public records for the duration of their appointment

Closed 43 signatures

What the petition asks

Transparency clause for all MPs so that on their successful appointment, their personal and business tax information will be public record throughout the duration of their appointment and subject to Freedom of Information requests.
We believe it is in the public interest for the financial affairs of MPs to be more transparent during the period of their appointment. In light of recent revelations, we want the public to have access to information about the financial affairs of MPs so they can better judge the interests and integrity of the people they have elected to represent them.
