Text
On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. Standing Order 69(5) states, fairly clearly, I think, that, when a Member has a "financial interest in any matter" or a "relevant interest" in that matter, they:
"must declare that interest before taking part in any proceedings of the Assembly relating to that matter."
I ask that you make a ruling as to whether that is being adhered to in the general run of business here, particularly in relation to the previous debate, and on whether Members are declaring an interest on every occasion on which they should in a way that is in keeping with their interests in the Register of Members' Interests.
