(26 November 2025)
Dear ***
Thank you for your further email.
We understand you wish to allege a breach of rules 5, 6 and 11 from section D.
Section D, Rule 5:
Members must fulfil conscientiously the requirements of the House in respect of the registration of interests in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.
It has not been evidenced that the Member holds, or did hold, a registrable interest in the property. Therefore it remains unclear as to how this rule has been breached.
Rule 6:
Members must always be open and frank in declaring any relevant interest in any proceeding of the House or its Committees, and in any communications with Ministers, Members, public officials or public office holders.
Rule 6 relates to Members’ obligation to declare relevant interests during a proceeding of the House or a committee. It has not been evidenced that the Member failed to make a declaration during a related proceeding, nor that this was a declarable interest. Therefore it remains unclear as to how this rule has been breached.
Rule 11:
Members shall never undertake any action which would cause significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons as a whole, or of its Members generally.
Rule 11 sets a high bar as firstly an MP’s actions must cause significant damage and secondly any such damage must impact more widely than on the reputation and integrity of the individual MP involved.
As such the Commissioner will not be opening an inquiry based on your complaint. Nonetheless he is grateful to you for taking the time to get in contact.
Kind regards
Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards
