REPORT ON THE REGISTER OF MEMBERS’ INTERESTS
FIRST ASSEMBLY: May 1999 - APRIL 2003
Introduction
1. Section 72 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 and Standing Order 4 requires the
National Assembly to maintain and publish a register of interests of Assembly Members.
The register is updated quarterly.
2. Members are required to register any relevant interests within eight weeks of taking
the oath or affirmation and also register within four weeks any changes to those
interests. Section 72(6)(a) of the Government of Wales Act makes it an offence for any
Member to participate in proceedings of the Assembly without having registered a
relevant interest as specified in the Annex to Standing Order 4. The responsibility for
complying with the duties to register and declare interests rests with Members alone,
although they may seek advice from the Presiding Office.
Thresholds
3. Part 4 of the Annex to the Standing Order 4 provides for the establishment of
thresholds over and above which Assembly Members are required to register gifts,
hospitality and other material benefits or advantages. An Assembly resolution in May
1999 established the threshold for the registration of gifts (such as money, glassware
etc), at £125. For other benefits (such as tickets to sporting events) the threshold is
0.5% of their individual salaries (which currently equates to approximately £180).
4. Some Members choose to register a number of matters that fall below the stipulated
thresholds. They are entitled to do this if they so wish. However, it should be stressed
that those Members who have observed the thresholds have thereby complied precisely
and in full with the rules as laid down in the resolution of the Assembly.
Categories of Interests
5. The form for National Assembly Members to register their interests is prescribed
by the Presiding Officer and has the following eleven categories:
• Category 1: Directorships
• Category 2: Remuneration Employment, Office, Profession, etc
• Category 3: The Names of Clients
• Category 4: Gifts, hospitality, material benefit or advantage
• Category 5: Remuneration or other material benefit
• Category 6: Financial sponsorships
• Category 7: Overseas visits
• Category 8: Land & Property
• Category 9: Shareholdings
• Category 10: Public bodies
• Category 11: Freemasons
Inspection of the Register
6. The Register of Members’ Interests is maintained in the Table Office of the
National Assembly for Wales. It is open to public inspection on the Internet or in the
Table Office itself during opening hours. Copies of individual entries will be made
available on request in accordance with Section 119 of the Government of Wales Act.
