Ban MPs from having second jobs except in NHS — 451 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

MPs should not have other jobs outside of Parliament unless they are qualified doctors, nurses or other healthcare professionals and actively work in the NHS

Additional details

Parliament should ban any sitting MPs from having second jobs as we feel it is a conflict of interest. The only exception to this rule are if the MPs are qualified doctors, nurses or other healthcare professionals who actively work within the NHS.
