Compel MPs to declare all affiliations with private and public organisations
Increase transparency to improve trust in the UK Government and Parliamentary system by compelling all MPs to declare affiliations they have with organisations, both public and private.
As UK citizens, it is important that we can feel reassured of the integrity of our elected representatives. This integrity can neither be demonstrated nor proven if MPs have connections with bodies outside of Parliament without full transparency to the electorate. It is vital for trust and democracy that the public is able to see that all connections are non-treasonous and that no MP is in a position, nor are they manoeuvring into a position, whereby they could betray one's country.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
MPs are already required to declare their interests, and it's not clear how you want these requirements to be changed.
