This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure what action you would like to see. The House of Commons already has rules about the declaration of MPs' interests, including indirect interests, when participating in parliamentary proceedings. The full rules on declaration are set out in the House of Commons Code of Conduct:

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201516/cmcode/1076/1076.pdf

If there is a specific change that you would like to be made to the rules, you could start a petition asking for that change.
