Rejected petition All politicians should declare any conflict of interest in the laws they pass.

Politicians have a great responsibility in making laws and decisions for our country. I believe that the politicians who have adverse interests in the decision they are making, should declare those interests and be barred from making that decision.

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, who are required to register and declare their financial interests, so we're not sure what action you'd like to see.

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

https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/code-of-conduct-and-rules-of-the-house/

Complaints about breaches of the House of Commons Code of Conduct are investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, who is independent of Parliament and Government. You can find out more about the Commissioner and her role here:

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