Register of Lords' Interests

HL Deb 12 March 2002 vol 632 c62WA

Earl Attlee

asked the Leader of the House:

Whether it is necessary to declare any significant indebtedness, other than a mortgage with a Financial institution, in the new Register of Lords' Interests. [HL3255]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Questions 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.
