Closed Ban MPs, their spouses and dependents from owning or trading stocks and shares

Closed on

We want the Government to introduce an Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act, prohibiting MPs, their spouses, and dependent minors from owning or trading securities, commodities, or futures. We believe this would help to restore trust in Parliament.

Passing legislation to address conflict of interests is exactly what we need to restore public confidence in Parliament.
