Problem
If an MP has a personal interest in share prices increasing for weapon manufacture companies, they cannot be considered to be truly impartial when creating policy surrounding weapon sales to countries with poor human rights records. Our current Prime Minister's spouse owns shares in such business.

Solution
Make it illegal for MPs and their close family members from being owners of shares, or work on the board of weapon manufacturers.
MPs and immediate family members should not financially gain from policies that work in their favour.
The only way MPs can remain unbiased in the creation of weapon policies in the UK is by having no financial link.
