Book excerpt: The purpose of this Guide is to assist Members in discharging the duties placed upon them by the Code of Conduct agreed by the House. It replaces the Guide approved by the House on 14 May 2002 (HC 841 (2001-02)). While previous editions of the Rules derived their authority from Resolutions of the House rather than from statute or common law, the attention of Members is drawn to the fact that in respect of registration categories 4, 5, and 6, there are in addition requirements imposed by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA) as amended by the Electoral Administration Act 2006. The Guide is divided into four sections dealing with: (1) Registration of interests; (2) Declaration of interests; (3) Lobbying for reward or consideration; (4) Procedure for complaints.

Download or read book Dual Reporting and Revised Guide to the Rules written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Committee on Standards and Privileges and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 4th report (HCP 208, session 2008-09, ISBN 9780215526298) from the Committee on Standards and Privileges, and looks at dual reporting and a revised guide to the rules. It follows an interim report, published in July 2008 (HCP 989, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215521972, "Ending dual reporting of donations"). An unintended consequence of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PGA 2000 c. 41, ISBN 9780105441007), was to require Members of the House of Commons to register certain interests both with the Registrar of Members' Interests and with the newly formed Electoral Commission. This has led to confusion and duplication, with Members' facing criticism or sanctions for registering an interest in one body but not the other. The report sets out how the Committee proposes the House of Commons should create the conditions in which dual reporting can be ended. A summary of the proposed changes to the Guide is set out and the implications for Members. The Annex to this report contains the full text of the revised Guide.

Download or read book Conduct of Mr George Osborne written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Committee on Standards and Privileges and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards submitted a memorandum on his investigation of a complaint that Mr George Osborne failed to register certain donations in the Register of Members' Interests. These donations were made to the Conservative Party and used by the Party to support the cost of running his office as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. It became clear that many other members of the Shadow Cabinet used funds in this way, so this complaint has ramifications well beyond one entry in the Register. Mr Osborne believes that financial support received through a party to support work as a Shadow Minister does not constitute 'financial or material support as a Member of Parliament'. The Commissioner finds that there is no logical reason to differentiate between the different capacities in which MPs receive financial support, and upholds the complaint, but does not believe Mr Osborne should be criticised as the area was in need of clarification. He makes five recommendations which should regularise the position, and members of the Shadow Cabinet are given four weeks from publication of this report to amend their Register entries. The Committee agrees with the Commissioner's findings and recommendations.

Download or read book House of Lords House of Commons Joint Committee on the Draft Deregulation Bill Deregulation Bill HL 101 HC 925 written by Great Britain: Parliament: Joint Committee on the Draft Deregulation Bill and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having looked at the Draft Deregulation Bill in some detail and taken evidence from a wide range of witnesses, the Committee does not think it is appropriate for Ministers to be given power to scrap legislation by order on the subjective test that it is 'no longer of practical use'. There is a risk that to give Ministers that power would undermine effective Parliamentary scrutiny. It was also felt unnecessary when the Law Commissions currently have the power to put forward outdated Bills for abolition anyway. The Law Commissions will need to make changes to their working practices in order to produce more frequent and more responsive Statute Law (Repeals) Bills. The Government should work with the Law Commissions to streamline the process for bringing forward these Bills. As for the duty on regulators to have regard to economic growth, whilst this is supported in principle, it is important that it is not used by Government to undermine the independence of regulators in the way it is implemented. It might be helpful if that provision were explicitly included in the Bill

It sets out plainly and intelligibly what goes on and why things happen, but it also analyses the pressures within the institution, its strengths and weaknesses, and ways in which it might change.
