Register of Members' Interest

Section 36 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 and Standing order 31 require the National Assembly to maintain and publish a Register of Members Interests of Assembly Members.

Members are required to register any relevant interests within eight weeks of taking the oath or affirmation and also register within four weeks any changes to those interests. Section 36(7)(a) of the Government of Wales makes it an offence for any Member to participate in proceedings of the Assembly without having registered a relevant interest as specified in the Annex to Standing Order 31

The responsibility for complying with the duties to register and declare interests rests with Members alone, and should be done so in accordance with the Guidance on the Registration, Declaration and Recording of Members' Interests. Members may also seek advice from the Registrar of Members’ Interests. Registrations must be made by completing the Registration and Recording of Interests form.

Inspection of the Register

The Register of Members' Interests is maintained in the Table Office. It is open to public inspection in the Table Office itself during opening hours. Copies of individual entries may be made available on request.

A dynamic Report detailing all entries made in the Register can be accessed below or is available in hard copy from the Table Office.
