Register of Members’ Interests
September 2006
Introduction
The Standing Orders of the Assembly require the Clerk to the Assembly to compile and, from time to time, to publish a Register of Members’ Interests. This Register of Members’ Interests reflects the interests of Members as declared in September 2006.
In March 1999 the Assembly approved the publication of a Code of Conduct for Members of the Assembly together with a Guide to Rules relating to the Conduct of Members. The Guide to the Rules relating to the Conduct of Members was amended and agreed by the Assembly on 15 October 2001. The revised document which has been circulated to all Members, sets out in detail the rules governing the registration and declaration of Members’ Interests, as well as offering guidance on their practical application.
Purpose of the Register
The defining purpose of the Register is to "provide information of any pecuniary interest or other material benefit which a Member receives which might reasonably be thought by others to influence his or her actions, speeches or votes in the Assembly, or actions taken in his or her capacity as a Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly". Members are required to keep that overall purpose in mind when registering their interests.
Form of the Register
The entries in the Register are designed so as to give a clear description of the nature and scope of the interests declared. Each Member is, however, ultimately responsible for his or her own entry; inconsistencies of style or content in the Register are attributable largely to that fact.
The Advocacy Rule
The advocacy rule prohibits Members from engaging in advocacy on behalf of outside bodies or persons from whom they receive payment. The Guide to the Rules relating to the Conduct of Members makes it clear that continuing benefits, i.e. directorships, other employment and sponsorship, can be divested to release a Member with immediate effect from the restriction imposed by this role, provided there is no expectation of renewal. In the case of any applicable "one off " benefits such as visits and gifts recorded in this Register, the advocacy rule will apply for the period of a year from registration and for this purpose the date of registration appears against the benefit in question.
The Categories of Registrable Interests
The form supplied to Members for the registration of their interests is divided into eleven sections, which are represented in this register by the following headings:
1. Directorships
In this section Members are required to register any remunerated directorships which they may hold in public or private companies. The requirement extends to directorships which are themselves unremunerated but where the companies in question are associated with or are subsidiaries of a company in which the Member holds a remunerated directorship.
2. Remunerated employment, office, profession, etc
This is the category for registering outside employment, professions and sources of remuneration not clearly covered elsewhere in the registration form. It is also the section for the registration of membership of Lloyd’s of London; the requirement is to disclose the categories of insurance underwritten.
3. Clients
In this section Members are required to disclose the names of clients (other than companies or organisations already identified in sections 1 and 2, but including clients of those companies or organisations) for whom they provide services which depend essentially upon or arise out of membership of the Assembly; for example, sponsoring functions in Parliament Buildings, making representations to Government Departments or providing advice on the Assembly or public affairs.
4. Sponsorship (regular or continuing support in money or kind)
In this section the Member is required to register (a) the source of any contribution to his or her election expenses at the last Election which exceeded 25% of the total of such expenses, and (b) any regular or continuing support from companies or organisations from which the Member receives any financial or material benefit in support of his or her role as a Member of the Assembly. This includes any regular donation in excess of £500 per year made by an organisation or company to the Member’s constituency party if the donation is linked directly to the Member’s candidacy in the constituency or to the membership of the Assembly.
5. Gifts, benefits and hospitality (U.K.)
This section is for the registration of any gift or material advantage received by the Member or the Member’s partner from a United Kingdom source, which in any way relates to membership of the Assembly. Gifts are exempt from registration if less than £125 in value. Other benefits are exempt if less than 0.5% of a Member’s annual Assembly salary.
6. Overseas Visits
This section covers overseas visits, made by Members or their partners, which relate to or arise out of membership of the Assembly, where the cost of any such visit has not been wholly borne by the Member or by Northern Ireland public funds. Several categories of visits, made by Members in the normal course of their Assembly duties are specifically exempted from registration. These include: visits paid for by, or undertaken on behalf of, the Government, or which are made on behalf of an international organisation to which the United Kingdom Government belongs; visits with or on behalf of Committees of the Assembly; visits undertaken under the auspices of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the British-Irish Parliamentary Body, the British-American Parliamentary Group, the Council of Europe and equivalent recognised international parliamentary assemblies; visits arranged and paid for wholly by a Member’s own political party; visits paid for wholly by an institution of the European Community; and visits as part of an Industry and Parliament Trust fellowship.
7. Overseas benefits and gifts
The section is subject to the same rules as section 5, but covers gifts and benefits from overseas rather than U.K. sources.
8. Land and property
The requirement in this section is to register any land or property of substantial value, other than any used solely for the personal residential purposes of the Member or the Member’s partner.
9. Registrable shareholdings
In this section Members are required to name any public or private company or other body in which, to their knowledge, they have a beneficial interest in a shareholding having a nominal (i.e. face) value: (a) greater than 1 per cent of the issued share capital of the company or body, or (b) less than one per cent of the issued share capital but more than £25,000. The letters (a) and (b) are used accordingly in the printed entries. The requirement extends to holdings in which the interest is held by, or on behalf of, the Member’s partner or dependant children.
10. Miscellaneous
This is a discretionary section for use by Members wishing to register interests which do not clearly fall within any of the specific categories but which they consider to be relevant to the definition of the Register’s purpose.
11. Unremunerated interests
Members are required to list in this section any unremunerated interests which might reasonably be thought by others to influence their actions as Assembly Members.
General
The printing of this Register is authorised by the Clerk to the Assembly in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Assembly.It is the responsibility of the Members to notify changes in their registrable interests within four weeks of the change occurring; and the register will be periodically updated in a loose-leaf version to take account of such amendments.
