Rejected petition All Members of the House of Commons and Lords to declare their tax returns

Transparency of decision making is critical for an ethical and just political process. The policy of publication of all tax returns should be extended to the leaders of all public institutions.

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.

The Government and Parliament don't currently have the to require MPs and members of th eHouse of Lords to do this. If you would like Parliament to change the law, to require all serving MPs and members of the House of Lords to publish their tax returns, you could start a new petition asking for that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
