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.
At present, this would be a personal matter for the Secretary of State for Health.
Both the Ministerial Code (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/468255/Final_draft_ministerial_code_No_AMENDS_14_Oct.pdf) and the House of Commons Code of Conduct (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmcode.htm) contain rules about the declaration of interests.
You could start a new petition calling for a specific change to either the Ministerial Code or the House of Commons Code of Conduct, asking for the rules on the declaration of interests to be changed.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
