Rejected petition That any Lord who has served in any EU role, should not be allowed to vote

That they must abstain from any vote what’s so ever, they should not speak to any matter in hand nor vote for any Brexit related bill.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about matters that the UK Government or the House of Commons are responsible for. We can't accept petitions calling on the House of Lords to take action.

The House of Lords already has a Code of Conduct, which contains some rules about financial interests and conflicts of interest.

You can find out more about the Code of Conduct of the House of Lords here:

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