The Committee for Standards in Public Life has recommended that candidates at parliamentary elections should publish a declaration of interests. Consideration is being given to whether this should be a statutory requirement at future elections.
For the 2010 General Election the Ministry of Justice has been required to produce guidance for the VOLUNTARY publication of such a declaration.
As a Labour Party candidate I fully support the decision of the Labour Party to make the publication of such a declaration a REQUIREMENT of all of its candidates.
I am publishing this declaration on my election website in order that electors in my Rotherham constituency have access to this information.
The address of my website is included in every piece of my campaign literature and during this campaign I estimate over 100,000 pieces of my campaign literature will be in circulation.
