This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Every Freemason in public office declare themselves due to the Nolan principles.
Freemasons are creating a conflict of interest between the people and public office, by upholding the legislature first and foremost above the laws of England, and by concealing the crimes of all those considered as brothers. All public officials must abide by the 7 principles, honesty, openness.

Handbook Freemasonry Edmond Ronayne 1917"
page 183: “You must conceal all the crimes of your brother Masons, except murder and treason, and these only at your own options. Should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason be always sure to shield him. Prevaricate, don’t tell whole truth in this case, keep his secrets, and forget the most important points. It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you are keeping your obligation"
Now is that what a public official should do?
