Petition Ban MPs from accepting payments from overseas businesses.

Many MPs undertake paid work or consultancy in addition to their parliamentary duties which, in some cases, pays more than their official salary. At a time when Western democracy is under unprecedented attack, we must not allow MPs to be paid by companies based overseas.

More details

This campaign seeks to ban our elected representatives from accepting any type of payment, salary, contribution or gratuity, other than a reasonable level of hospitality when overseas on official business, from any individual, group, partnership, association, company or corporation domiciled outside the UK.
