HC Deb 11 July 1972 vol 840 cc311-2W
65. Mr. Edelman

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will now introduce legislation requiring Members of this House to declare any external interests in which they are financially concerned for publication in a register at the beginning of each Session and recording in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. R. Carr

As I said on this matter in the House last Thursday in answer to the right hon. Member for Devon, North (Mr. Thorpe), I should be willing to look again at this idea, which was rejected by the Select Committee on Members' Interests, if this was the wish of the House.—[Vol. 840, c. 757.]
