Members remember!
You must declare any personal or prejudicial interests in an item whenever it becomes apparent that you have an interest in the business being considered.
Make sure you say the reason for your interest as this has to be included in the minutes.
If your interest is prejudicial you must leave the room unless you have obtained a dispensation from the Council’s Standards Committee or where Para 12(2) of the Code can be applied. Para 12(2) allows a Member with a prejudicial interest to stay for the purpose of making representations, answering questions or giving evidence relating to the business but only at meetings where the public are also allowed to make representations. If you do remain, you must not exercise decision-making functions or seek to improperly influence the decision; you must leave the meeting room once you have made your representation.
You also need to declare when you are subject to the party whip before the matter is discussed.
