§ Lord Faulkner of Worcesterasked the Leader of the House:
Whether membership of a secret society should be declared in the new Register of Members' Interests. [HL3773]
§ Lord Williams of MostynQuestions about the entries in the new Register of Lords' Interests should, in the first instance, be directed to the Registrar of Lords' Interests. The registrar consults whenever necessary the Sub-committee on Lords' Interests, and Members should accept his advice in determining whether any particular interest is relevant or significant for the purposes of the register. A Member who acts on the advice of the registrar in determining what is a relevant interest satisfies fully the requirements of the code of conduct.
