This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There is already a Code of Conduct for MPs, which you can read about here:

www.parliament.uk/business/publications/commons/hoc-code-of-conduct/

You could start a new petition calling for changes to the sanctions or enforcement of the Code, but you'd need to be clear about what changes you'd like to see happen.
