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 the House of Commons to take. At present, MPs are suspended from the House following recommendations made by the Committee on Standards, or for defying the Chair (the Speaker or his or her deputies).
You could start a new petition asking the House to change its practice, by agreeing to suspend any MP who is the subject of a criminal investigation relating to possible breaches of electoral law.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
