Guidance To Working Members Of The Royal Family (EDM103)

Guidance To Working Members Of The Royal Family

EDM number 103 in 2001-02, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 10/07/2001.

That this House notes with regret the decision of Buckingham Palace not to proceed with a register of royal business interests along the lines of the House of Commons Register of Members' Interests but instead to introduce voluntary unpublished guidelines on how the business affairs of working members of the Royal Family might be so arranged in future so as to avoid any suggestion of a conflict of interest with their representational roles; further notes that Lord Luce, the Lord Chamberlain, Sir Richard Peat, the Keeper of the Privy Purse and Sir Robin Janvrin, the Queen's Private Secretary, reportedly took advice from business circles in formulating the guidelines and recommended that working members of the Royal Family refer any new business activities to the Lord Chamberlain for approval; considers that the new arrangements may still allow hostages to fortune; and urges the Select Committee on Public Administration to review the new guidance at an early date and invite Lord Luce and others involved in administering the guidance to explain how it is to operate in practice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
