Point of Order

Ed Davey Excerpts

Wednesday 9th February 2022 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

I call Ed Davey, on a point of order in connection with the Code of Conduct, to rectify a failure to declare.

[Ed Davey (Kingston and Surbiton) (LD)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to apologise to the House for not declaring my interest when tabling two parliamentary questions last year: one on 13 May and one on 4 June. I tabled the questions because of my long-standing interest in climate change, and as a result of constituency casework. An administrative oversight resulted in a breach of the rules, and for that I am sorry. I have put in place measures to ensure a similar mistake cannot be made again. I wish to put on record my thanks to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards for her time and care in rectifying this matter.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I thank the right hon. Member for his point of order. There will be no further points of order on this issue.
