This Report concerns the rules and practice of Parliaments in respect of declaration of the financial interests of their Members. It is not concerned with the type of personal interest (such as paid offices in the State) that is incompatible with membership of Parliament, but with permitted interests that, while proper to be held, are required to be declared, either publicly or to a competent authority. The report is based on questionnaires completed by 34 Parliaments, representing 45 Chambers.
