Welsh MP Jonathan Edwards:
“The register of members’ interests is an important innovation, however currently the onus is on the electors to proactively search for information that should be readily available to them. New protocols could include requirements for BBC Parliament, ParliamentTV to list details of members’ interests on-screen when individuals are making contributions. If there is no impropriety, why would anyone object? Slight mischievousness, I’d even go as far to recommend members are required to emblazon their private benefactors on their clothing, the same way that snooker players proudly promote their sponsors on their waistcoats.”
