Establish an Anti-Corruption Unit focused on Westminster & Whitehall.
To establish an independent pro-active focused anti-corruption unit which would have unfettered powers to investigate potential corruption, false claims aimed misleading of the public, use of public office for private gain and fraud.
To secure public trust, by rooting out corruption and being seen to root out corruption within Westminster and Whitehall. To protect the public interest and tax payers money. Akin to the fictional AC-12 Unit in the BBC's Line of Duty Series, but staffed by seasoned investigators from across the justice system selected at random for a fixed period of secondment.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about potential corruption in Westminster and Whitehall, but we're not sure if you want a police unit to be set up for this purpose - which would be a matter for the police, not the Government or House of Commons - or something else.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
