Prohibit EU pensioners in the HoL from voting in the Brexit debate.
There are at least twenty members of the House of Lords who have a conflict of interest in that the EU demands that their former employees should support the EU. Those in the pay of a foreign power (the EU) should therefore not be allowed to vote on the subject of Brexit.
The House of Commons has rightly passed the Brexit Bill, complying with the will of the people. It is wrong that members of the House of Lords should seek to undermine this. While the Lords have the right to vote, those in the pay of the EU should be banned from voting on this subject.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about matters that the Government or the House of Commons are responsible for. We can't accept petitions calling on the House of Lords to take action.
