  • Register of Interests of Assembly Members
    NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES 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.

Appendix 22 WOMEN IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY 3 FOREWORD BY PROF. LAURA MCALLISTER In 2013, the Electoral Reform Society Cymru published its first annual Welsh Power Report which explored the position of women in public life. The report showed how, a century on from women gaining the right to vote, levels of women’s representation in some parts of Welsh public life remains little changed. During the last decade, the National Assembly for Wales and the Welsh Government were world leaders in women’s representation. From 2000-2005 over half of all cabinet ministers, and from 2005-2007 over half of all Assembly Members were women – a global first. But that early promise has stalled and as this report shows, Wales now risks falling back. In both of the last two devolved elections, the number of women AMs elected has fallen, as women elected for the first time in 1999 retired and many were replaced by men.
