Stop Politicians with financial benefits from the EU from voting on Brexit.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because MPs are already required to register and declare financial interests. If there is a conflict between their personal interest and the public interest, they must resolve it straightaway and in favour of the public interest. Complaints that a Member has breached the Code of Conduct are examined by the independent Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

You can find the Code of Conduct for the House of Commons here:
