Members’ Interests
Extract from para 9-10 of the Code of Practice for Members, June 2001 of the Committee on Standards in Public Life.
All Committee members should register in the Committee’s Register of Interests any private interest which might influence their judgement or which could be perceived (by a reasonable member of the public) to do so. In particular, Committee members should register:
- relevant personal direct and indirect pecuniary interests;
- relevant direct and indirect pecuniary interests of close family members of which Committee members could reasonably be expected to be aware; and
- relevant personal non-pecuniary interests, including those which arise from membership of clubs and other organisations.
In this paragraph "relevant" interest, whether pecuniary or non-pecuniary and whether direct or indirect, means any such interest which might influence the judgement of a Committee member or which could be perceived (by a reasonable member of the public) to influence his or her judgement in the exercise of his or her public duties; "indirect pecuniary interest" means an interest which arises from connection with bodies which have a direct pecuniary interest or from being a business partner of, or employed by, a person with such an interest.
