Source: Statement of Registrable Interests - this contains interests declared as at 11/04/22 and alterations since then.
This statement contains interests declared as at the dissolution of the previous parliament on 11/04/22 and any alterations since then, including new interests and amendments and deletions to existing interests. The date of an alteration is when it was declared to the register, not when the change occurred.
Open Politics has amended the wording and formatting of some MPs' and Senators' declared interests to improve readability or to correct mistakes. To notify Open Politics of an error or omission, contact us.
Problems: Haines breached the rules of the interests register by not declaring a junket to the United States in January 2023 as a guest of the US State Department.
