This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure what action you would like to see. The House of Commons already has rules about the declaration of MPs' interests, including indirect interests, when participating in parliamentary proceedings. The full rules on declaration are set out in the House of Commons Code of Conduct:
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201516/cmcode/1076/1076.pdf
If there is a specific change that you would like to be made to the rules, you could start a petition asking for that change.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
