Quantify Brexit confidence; force disclosure of divestment from the UK/GBP

Petition Details

MPs & Peers must disclose how much of their assets they have moved out of the UK and/or away from Pound Sterling since the 2016 Brexit referendum. Those claiming that warnings about economic outcomes are Project Fear should be able to demonstrate a strong faith in a post-Brexit UK economy.

Additional Information

MPs and Peers invoking “Project Fear” rarely give evidence thereof. In order to maintain transparency and avoid renewed allegations of lying against Vote Leave, members of both houses can show the faith in their own arguments. Disclosure of asset divestment should include divestments by legal entities listed in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because to seem to be calling for individual MPs and Peers and to take action and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for the rules on Members' interests to be changed so MPs have to explicitly state when they or entities listed in the register of Members interests sell assets if that is something you would like to happen.
