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:
It's a matter for individual MPs, rather than the Government or Parliament as a whole, to decide on which matters to vote, and how to vote.
In any case, the House of Commons already has a Code of Conduct for MPs. Under existing rules, 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.
