Proceeding contribution from Alan Duncan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Parliamentary Standards Bill.


Parliamentary Standards Bill

There is a crucial difference between declaration and registration. Declaration means an oral declaration, so a Member could end up being criminal simply by not saying anything in the House. Registration is now possible on the internet. A wide and comprehensive arrangement covers all the necessary registrations of interest, and implicitly covers declarations as well.
