The
House of Commons Register of Members Interests
Key:
Interests are registered under the following ten categories.
1. Remunerated directorships
In this section Members are required to register any remunerated
directorships, paying them more than £600 a year, which
they hold in public or private companies. Members are also
required to register directorships which are unremunerated
if the companies are associated with or subsidiaries of a
company in which the Member holds a remunerated directorship.
2. Remunerated employment, office, profession
etc.
This is the section for registering outside employment, professions
and sources of remuneration (of more than £600 a year)
not clearly covered elsewhere in the registration form. Members
are not expected to register the amount of their earnings
except where they are 'providing services in the capacity
of a Member of Parliament'[7], for example making representations
to government departments, providing advice on parliamentary
or public affairs or sponsoring functions in parliamentary
buildings. In such cases they must register the amount of
their earnings within bands of £5,000 and, with the
exception of speaking or writing engagements, must also deposit
for public inspection an 'agreement for the provision of services'[8].
3. Clients
In this section Members are required to disclose the names
of clients (other than companies or organisations already
identified in sections 1 and 2, but including clients of those
companies or organisations) for whom they provide 'services
in the capacity of a Member of Parliament'.
4. Sponsorship or financial or material support
In this section the Member is required to register any donation
of more than £1,000 received by the constituency association
which is linked either to candidacy at an election or to membership
of the House, and also any other form of financial or material
support as a Member. A 'linked' donation is defined as one
'expressly tied to the Member by name eg if it is a contribution
to the Member's fighting fund or a donation which has been
solicited or encouraged by the Member'. The obligation to
register does not apply to constituency development agreements
and other arrangements in which the identity of the Member
is not a factor.
5. Gifts, benefits and hospitality (U.K.)
This section is for the registration of any gift or material
advantage received from a United Kingdom source, which in
any way relates to membership of the House. Tangible gifts
and other benefits over £600 in value must be registered.
A number of benefits are offered to all Members,
or to all Members within a particular geographical area. The
Guide to the Rules specifies that gifts and benefits known
to be available to all Members need not be registered, and
the Committee on Standards and Privileges has ruled that this
exemption should include benefits made available to certain
Members on a geographical basis.
Among such regionally or generally available
benefits, those which are currently known to be, or potentially
to be, of registrable value are:
web-site design and maintenance by e-politix.com
access to political monitoring service provided by DeHavilland
(deHavilland Engage)
First Great Eastern Trains station car park passes
Thameslink Trains station car park passes
Southwest Trains station car park passes
(restricted to use on parliamentary business)
Airline privilege cards
Such benefits are not required to be registered.
Not all Members take up these benefits when
they are offered, and those who do use them to varying extents.
6. Overseas visits
This section covers overseas visits, made by Members or their
spouses or partners, which in any way arise out of membership
of the House, where the cost of any such visit has not been
wholly borne by the Member or by United Kingdom public funds.
Several categories of visit, made by Members in the normal
course of their parliamentary duties, are exempted from registration.
For the most part these are visits paid for from UK public
funds or by a Member's own political party[9]. Here again,
the threshold for registration is currently £600.
Where a fee is received for an engagement abroad
and travel and accommodation are also paid the item is usually
entered under Category 2.
7. Overseas benefits and gifts
This section is subject to the same rules as section 5, but
covers gifts and benefits from overseas rather than UK sources.
8. Land and Property
The requirement in this section is to register land or property
worth, currently, more than £60,000 (other than any
home used for the personal residential purposes of the Member
or the Member's spouse or partner) or from which in aggregate
an income in excess of £6,000 is derived.
9. Registrable shareholdings
In this section Members are required to register the name
of any public or private company or other body in which, to
their knowledge, they have a beneficial interest in a shareholding
(a) of more than 15% of the issued share capital or (b) worth
more than £60,000 at the preceding 5th April.
10. Miscellaneous and unremunerated interests
This is a discretionary section for the registration by Members
of interests which do not clearly fall within any of the above
categories but which they consider to fall within the Register's
purpose. In accordance with the nature of the Register as
a record of pecuniary and material interests and the wishes
of the Standards & Privileges Committee, unremunerated
charitable and voluntary commitments are not, of themselves,
registered, though if a material benefit arises from them,
that should be registered in the appropriate category.
Footnotes:
7 Resolution of the House, 6 November 1995, amended on 14
May 2002.
8 They are similarly required to provide such
an agreement if they provide services in a parliamentary capacity
in respect of any directorship registered in Category 1.

36 of the Guide to the Rules relating to the conduct of Members.
