A number of MPs are believed to have investments, either directly or indirectly, that might lead to them making a financial gain from a decision to leave the EU

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 House of Commons already has a Code of Conduct for MPs. MPs are already required to register and declare financial interests, and to avoid conflicts of interest, so we're not sure exactly what further action you'd like to see.

You can find the Code of Conduct for the House of Commons here:

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