Question
To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, further to the answer to question S6W-04506 by Jackson Carlaw on 2 December 2021, whether it will provide an update on its considerations regarding the publication of all or part of the central register of interests held by the People and Culture Office.
Answer
The
SPCB undertook to consider this and can advise that the central register of
interests for SPCB staff who are members of the Parliament’s Leadership Group
is now publicly available, as of this week. The register can be found here.
The SPCB considers that publication of declared interests for Leadership Group
members is in the public interest for reasons of transparency and maintaining
trust and confidence. As before, Leadership Group members will be
required, on an annual basis, to review their register of declared interests.
