HC Deb 25 January 1999 vol 324 cc13-4W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the President of the Council if she will recommend changes to the Register of Members' Interest to require all pecuniary outside interests to be listed and outside earnings to be shown in appropriate bands. [67371]

Mrs. Beckett

The Neill Committee on Standards in Public Life announced on 17 December 1998 that it would review the recommendations of its first report (Cm. 2850) which dealt with, among other things, the outside interests of MPs and the register of interests. I have no plans to propose changes to the rules on registration of interests before the Neill Committee reports, but Members and others can make suggestions direct to the Neill Committee.
