Notes on Declaration of Interest
· Any member arriving after the start of the meeting is asked to declare personal interests as necessary as soon as practicable after their arrival, even if the item in question has been considered.
· With the exception of the circumstances listed in para. 9(2) of the Local Code of Conduct for Members, a Member with a personal interest also has a prejudicial interest if it is one which a Member of the public with knowledge of the relevant facts would reasonably regard as so significant that it is likely to prejudice the Member’s judgement of the public interest. In such circumstances, the Member must withdraw from the meeting room, and should inform the Chairman accordingly.
· It is not practical to offer detailed advice during the meeting on whether or not a personal interest should be declared, or whether a personal interest should also be regarded as prejudicial.
