Petition Action

Make MPs declare personal interest eg investments & donations in arms industry

Petition Details

The arms industry is poorly regulated, often arms are supplied to countries with dubious human rights and resold to those posing a threat to UK. MPs should be clear in their affiliations to and financial dealings with these companies, be it investments or donations.

Additional Information

Transparency in this matter will ensure there is no suggestion that MPs are profiteering from war.

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 donations and shareholdings, 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.
