Introduction to Staff Register REGISTER OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS’ SECRETARIES AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (As at 15 October 2020) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members’ secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £410 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass. Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £410 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented. Complaints Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a staff member is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members’ Financial Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Where possible the Registrar will seek to resolve the complaint informally. In more serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may undertake a formal investigation and either rectify the matter or refer it to the Committee on Standards. Under the rectification procedure a late entry may be printed in bold italics in the Register for twelve months from its first appearance. Information and advice about the Register and the rules governing it The Register can be viewed at www.parliament.uk by looking under ‘Registers of Interests’ in the A-Z Index on the home page there.

The legislation includes several exemptions which allow the use of a maximum of two dogs for certain hunting activities, including stalking and flushing. The exemptions under the Act can be amended using a statutory instrument with the approval of both Houses. The Conservative Government included a manifesto commitment to repeal the Hunting Act. However, in July 2015 the Government announced that it intended to amend the legislation to remove the limit on the number of dogs, and instead replace it with a requirement that the number of dogs used is appropriate to the terrain and any other relevant circumstance.

  • The Hon J J Bossano, Chief Minister
    Mr Chairman, Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to address the Special Committee on behalf of the people of Gibraltar. I would like first to take this opportunity to place on record my appreciation for the warmth of the reception I had from your predecessor, His Excellency, Ambassador Renagi Renagi Lohia, on my first appearance before this Committee in 1992 and indeed on my second one in 1993. I can assure the Committee that I was made to feel at home and amongst friends from the first day that I came. That encouraged me to look to this Committee – and it encouraged the people of Gibraltar to look to this Committee – as the forum where we could express our deep seated feelings on having our right as a colonial people recognised and vindicated. I should like to say that I have reported this back in Gibraltar faithfully. Indeed the text of my presentation and my appearance before the Special Committee has been transmitted over Gibraltar television and widely covered by our own press. In doing this, I believe we have been making a small contribution towards the fulfilment of Resolution 43/46 of the 22 November 1988 of the General Assembly on the dissemination of information on decolonisation which called for the widespread and continuous publicity to be given to the work of the United Nations in the field of decolonisation and in particular to the work of the Special Committee. A Resolution, of course, which the administering power voted against, but which the territorial Government in Gibraltar fully supports.

  • Brexit Referendum in Gibraltar. Result and Effect Northern Ireland7 with the Average Turnout of 70,9%
    Białostockie Studia Prawnicze 2019 vol. 24 nr 1 DOI: 10.15290/bsp.2019.24.01.07 Bartłomiej H. Toszek University of Szczecin [email protected] ORCID ID: http://orcid.org/ 0000-0003-2989-7168 Brexit Referendum in Gibraltar. Result and Eff ect Abstract: Almost complete unanimity of the small Gibraltar community during 2016 referendum on Brexit remained nearly unnoticed because of including this British Overseas Territory into “combined electoral region” with South West England where most of people were in favour of the United Kingdom withdrawing from the European Union. No political diff erences with the UK (i.e. England and Wales) but concern about future possibilities of economic development outside the Single Market stimulated an intense discussion among the Gibraltarians. Th e vision of being non-subject of the EU’s four freedoms (i.e. damage or lost present prosperity basis) would force Gibraltar to re-orientate its economic relations especially by creating and developing new trade links which could gradually replace the existing ones. Despite that Gibraltarians have consequently rejected Spanish proposals of remaining inside the Single Market for the price of sharing sovereignty between the UK and Spain. It is therefore beyond doubt that the people of Gibraltar can be characterised as more British than European. Keywords: Brexit, European Union, Gibraltar, United Kingdom Th e specifi city of Gibraltar’s referendum on Brexit expressed itself not only because it was the fi rst time for any British Overseas Territory (BOT) to participate in the United Kingdom-wide referendum but also because the Gibraltarians were straight included in the decision-making process related to one of the most important question in the UK’s modern history.
