To Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg

Petition text

Accept proposals by the Parliamentary Committee on Standards to ban MPs from taking second jobs giving “parliamentary advice, consultancy or strategy services” to companies.

Why is this important?

Right now, MPs are allowed to take second jobs giving political advice to private companies - just as long as they don’t actively lobby ministers on their behalf. It doesn’t take a genius to see how messy that can get! Not to mention the fact that MPs are elected to represent their constituents, not spend their time making extra cash on the side.

Now the Parliamentary Committee on Standards - an independent group of MPs that oversees MP conduct - has recommended these second jobs are banned. But it’s up to Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg (as Leader of the House of Commons) to accept them.

Let’s make it clear that we - the general public - care about the state of our democracy and prove once and for all that we want our MPs to focus on doing what they’re elected to do: representing their constituents.
