You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because it isn't clear what it is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do. In any case, the UK Government and Parliament as a whole aren't responsible for investigating comments made by individual MPs. This is the responsibility of their political party.
