Registration of members' interests
12. (1) Subject to paragraph 13, you must, within 28 days of:
(a) this Code being adopted by or applied to your authority; or
(b) your election or appointment to office (where that is later), register
in your authority's register of members' interests (maintained under
section 81(1) of the Local Government Act 2000) details of your
personal interests where they fall within a category mentioned in
paragraph 8(1)(a), by providing written notification to your
authority's monitoring officer.
(2) Subject to paragraph 13, you must, within 28 days of becoming aware
of any new personal interest or change to any personal interest
registered under paragraph (1), register details of that new personal
interest or change by providing written notification to your authority's
monitoring officer.
Sensitive information
13. (1) Where you consider that the information relating to any of your
personal interests is sensitive information, and your authority's
monitoring officer agrees, you need not include that information when
registering that interest, or, as the case may be, a change to that
interest under paragraph 12.
(2) You must, within 28 days of becoming aware of any change of
circumstances which means that information excluded under
paragraph (1) is no longer sensitive information, notify your authority's
monitoring officer asking that the information be included in your
authority's register of members' interests.
(3) In this Code, "sensitive information" means information whose
availability for inspection by the public creates, or is likely to create, a
serious risk that you or a person who lives with you may be subjected
to violence or intimidation.
