Question

To ask the hon. Member for Broxbourne, representing the House of Commons Commission, with reference to the Committee on Standards' report entitled, Review of the Code of Conduct: proposals for consultation, published on 29 November 2021 and its report entitled, New Code of Conduct and Guide to the Rules: promoting appropriate values, attitudes and behaviour in Parliament, published on 24 May 2022, what steps the Commission is taking to help ensure that the Register of Members' Financial Interests is published in more searchable and analysable formats.

Following the report from the Committee on Standards, Parliamentary Digital Service and the Registry Office established a project team to develop and deliver fully searchable registers and a new online interface for Members to register their interests. The initial phases of the project have been completed. The project board that oversees this work will now make proposals to the House authorities on the delivery of this work.
