HC Deb 10 May 1993 vol 224 c307W
39. Mr. Mullin

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what steps he has taken to require declarations of interest by public servants who are freemasons.

Mr. Robert Jackson

As I said in reply to the hon. Member on 29 March at col. 14, an amendment to the civil service code is to be published shortly. The amendment will remind civil servants that freemasonry is among the possible sources of conflicts of interest which should be reported if and when they occur. A copy of the amendment will be placed in the Library of the House when published.
