Outside Interests: Conduct Of Honourable Members

EDM number 500 in 1989-90, proposed by Terry Lewis on 08/02/1990.

That this House deplores the growing practice of honourable Members earning undisclosed sums by acting as parliamentary consultants; condemns the use of parliamentary procedures by some of those honourable Members to overtly promote policies which would clearly benefit their outside interests in a pecuniary way; and suggests that the declaration of interests prodedures as practiced in local government be adopted by this House in preference to the ineffective Register of Members' Interests.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
