What the petition asks

In order for complete transparency to the UK taxpayer, and to speed up any possible future police enquiries, all MPs' and Ministers' work phones & other devices should not be allowed to have the 'disappearing messages' feature.
The taxpayer deserves to be able to hold MPs and Ministers accountable for their actions.
