The OPCC is legally required to keep a register of interest, including gifts and hospitality.

A Register of Interests is a record kept (usually by a government body) of financial interests of its members. The register records interests which may potentially unethically or unlawfully influence members’ official duties.

You can find out more about what is disclosable on the register of interests below and download copies of the OPCC’s register at the bottom of the page.
