This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition MPs in Parliament should wear logos of organisations they receive payments from.
Members of Parliament should be required to wear badges with the logos of each organisation from which they receive corporate hospitality or payments, whenever they are in Parliament.
More details
The register of interests is fine, but its not immediately apparent who funds them when the member is shown on TV debating or asking questions
Members of Parliament often receive corporate hospitality or regular payments from organisations lobbying for political change.
This would provide some transparency when they are contributing to debate or committees.
Probably some threshold would be appropriate.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about rules of behaviour and courtesies in the House of Commons, including the attire of MPs, are a matter for the Speaker, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
