End gifting to MP’s, Lords and public servants

End gifting to MP’s, Lords and public servants — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

MP’s, Lords and all public servants must not be permitted to accept gifts of any kind. For example, gifts such as food, drink, tickets to events, financial donations such as paying for fuel or staffing costs or any other financial assistance must be stopped immediately.

Additional details

Firstly, the acceptance of gifts risks influencing the opinions and decision making of elected officials or those who have financial control of tax payer funding. Secondly, MP’s, Lords and public servants should all feel the same financially pressures as those they represent. It is simply outrageous that people in such a privileged position seem fit to accept such gifts under the noses of those they were elected to represent.
