Why was this petition rejected?
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
MPs are already require to declare all earnings, and only shareholdings that are worth more than £70k, or amount to more than 15% of total shares in a company.
We could accept a petition calling for MPs to be required to declare all shareholdings, if that's what you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
