NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR

 REGISTER OF MEMBERS' FINANCIAL AND OTHER INTERESTS

AND

 RECORD OF MEMBERSHIP OF SOCIETIES

REPORT OF THE REGISTER OF MEMBERS' FINANCIAL OR OTHER INTERESTS [top]

UPDATED 31 MARCH 2011

Introduction

1. Section 36 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and Standing Order 31 require the National Assembly to maintain and publish a register of interests of Assembly Members.

2. Members are required to register any relevant interests within eight weeks of taking the oath or affirmation and also register within four weeks any changes to those interests. Section 36(7)(a) of the Government of Wales Act makes it an offence for any Member to participate in proceedings of the Assembly without having registered a relevant interest as specified in the Annex to Standing Order 31. The responsibility for complying with the duties to register and declare interests rests with Members alone, although they may seek advice from the Assembly Parliamentary Service.

Thresholds

3. Part 5 (iv) of the Annex to the Standing Order 31 provides for the establishment of thresholds over and above which Assembly Members are required to register gifts, hospitality and other material benefits or advantages. An Assembly resolution in May 2006 established the threshold for the registration of gifts and hospitality as 0.5% of the basic gross annual salary for an Assembly Member (which is currently approximately £253).

4. Some Members choose to register a number of matters that fall below the stipulated thresholds. They are entitled to do this if they so wish. However, it should be stressed that those Members who have observed the thresholds have thereby complied precisely and in full with the rules as laid down in the resolution of the Assembly.

Categories of Interests

5. The form for National Assembly Members to register their interests is prescribed by the Presiding Officer and has the following eleven categories:

 Category 1: Directorships

 Category 2: Remuneration Employment, Office, Profession, etc

 Category 3: The Names of Clients

 Category 4: Gifts, hospitality, material benefit or advantage

 Category 5: Remuneration or other material benefit

 Category 6: Financial sponsorships

 Category 7: Overseas visits

 Category 8: Land & Property

 Category 9: Shareholdings

 Category 10: Public bodies

[top] RECORD OF MEMBERSHIP OF SOCIETIES [top]

UPDATED 31 MARCH 2011

Introduction

1. Standing Order 32 requires the National Assembly to maintain and publish a record of memberships of societies held by Assembly Members.

2. Members are required to record any membership within eight weeks of taking the oath or affirmation and also register within four weeks any changes to those interests. The responsibility for complying with the duties to record membership rests with Members alone, although they may seek advice from the Assembly Parliamentary Service.

Standing Order Requirements

3. Some Members may choose to record membership that is not required by Standing Order 32. They are entitled to do this if they so wish. However, it should be stressed that those Members who have observed the Standing Order requirements have thereby complied precisely and in full with the rules as laid down in the resolution of the Assembly.

Specified Form

4. The form for National Assembly Members to record membership of societies is prescribed by the Presiding Officer. This is a combined form for the Record and the Registration of Members' Financial and other Interests.

Inspection of the Record

5. The Record of Membership of Societies is maintained in the Table Office of the National Assembly for Wales. It is open to public inspection on the Internet or in the Table Office itself during opening hours.
