MEMBERS’ INTERESTS

Sixth Edition

Last updated 9th March 2010

Ordered by The Committee on Standards and Privileges to be printed on 25th November 2009

Report: NIA 28/09/10R

Register of Members’ Interests

Introduction This is the updated version of the sixth edition of the Register of Members’ Interests. This Register of Members’ Interests reflects the interests of Members as they stood on 9th March 2010.

Purpose of the Register The main purpose of the Register of Members’ Interests is to provide information of any financial interests 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 Assembly. Provision is also made for the registration of non-financial interests and other such information as the Assembly may from time to time require to be included. The registration form specifies twelve categories of registrable interests which are described below. Apart from the specific rules, there is a more general obligation upon Members to keep the overall definition of the Register’s 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 rule, 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 the date of receipt (or from the date of registration when this date is later).

The Categories of Registrable Interests The form supplied to Members for the registration of their interests is divided into twelve sections, which are represented in this Register by the following headings:

1. Directorships

In this section Members are required to register remunerated directorships, in public and private companies including directorships which are individually remunerated, but where remuneration is paid through another company in the same group. From 12 October 2009 Members are also required to register the amount of any remuneration they receive in respect of each relevant entry and the average approximate hours spent in relation to that remuneration.

2. Remunerated employment, office, profession, etc

This is the category for registering employment, office, trade, profession or vocation which is remunerated or in which the Member has any financial interest. From 12 October 2009 Members are also required to register the amount of any remuneration they receive in respect of each relevant entry and the average approximate hours spent in relation to that remuneration.

3. Elected/Public Office

In this section Members are required to register their membership of all elected and public offices whether it is remunerated or not, or if expenses only are payable. From 12 October 2009 Members are also required to register the amount of any remuneration they receive in respect of each relevant entry and the average approximate hours spent in relation to that remuneration.

4. Electoral Support and Political Donations

Members are required to register under this category:

(a) any donations, loans or credit received by a Member’s constituency party or association, or relevant grouping of associations, which is linked either to candidacy at an election or to membership of the Assembly; and

(b) any other form of financial or material benefit (including loans or credit) received by a Member in support of his or her role as a Member of the Assembly

amounting to more than £1000 from a single source, whether as a single transaction or as multiple transactions of more than £200 during the course of the calendar year.

However, donations made directly to a constituency party as an expression of general political support, not linked to the Member’s candidacy or membership of the Assembly, should not be registered.

5. Gifts, benefits and hospitality (U.K.)

This section is for the registration of any gift to the Member or the Member’s partner, or any material benefit of a value greater than 0.5% of the current salary of an Assembly Member, from any company, organisation or person within the UK which in any way relates to membership of the Assembly (including those received in a ministerial capacity) or to a Member’s political activity.

6. Overseas Visits

This section covers, with certain specified exceptions, overseas visits made by the Member or the Member’s partner, or dependent children, relating to or in any way arising out of membership of the Assembly (including those made in a ministerial capacity), or to the

Member’s political activity, where the cost of the visit was not wholly borne by the Member, or by United Kingdom or Northern Ireland public funds.

7. Overseas benefits and gifts

The section covers any gift to the Member or the Member’s partner or dependent children or any material benefit of a value greater than 0.5% of the current salary of an Assembly Member, from any company, organisation or person outside of the UK which in any way relates to membership of the Assembly (including those received in a ministerial capacity) or to a Member’s political activity.

8. Land and property

The requirement in this section is to register any land or property - owned solely or jointly with a third-party – either within or outside of Northern Ireland, other than any home used for personal residential purposes of the Member, or the Member’s partner or any dependent child of the Member, which is of a substantial value or from which a substantial income is derived.

9. Shareholdings

In this section Members are required to register shareholdings held by the Member, either personally, or with or on behalf of the Member’s partner or dependent children, in any public or private company or other body where either:

(a) the nominal value of the shares at the relevant date is, or was, greater than 1% of the total nominal value of the issued share capital of the company or other body;

(b) the market value of the shares at the relevant date exceeds, or exceeded, 50% of the current salary of an Assembly Member on that date (rounded down to the nearest £10).

10. Miscellaneous

In this section Members should register any relevant financial interest not falling within one of the above categories. Members should also register in this category membership of any occupational pension schemes.

11. Unremunerated interests

Members are required to list in this section any relevant non-financial interest.

12. Family members who benefit from Assembly Members’ Allowances

In this section Members should register any family members who benefit directly or indirectly in any way from any Assembly Members’ Allowance.

General The printing of this Register is authorised by the resolution of the Committee on Standards and Privileges on 25th November 2009.

It is the responsibility of the Members to notify changes in their registrable interests within 28

days of the change occurring; and the Register will be periodically updated in a loose-leaf version to take account of such amendments. The loose-leaf version is open to inspection, by arrangement, in Room 284, Parliament Buildings. A copy of the loose-leaf Register is placed in the Assembly Library for the use of Members.

In addition, both the published Register and its regular updates are available on the Internet at the following address: www.niassembly.gov.uk
