SEPARATING BUSINESS AND POLITICS
Separate your public political position from your private, professional or business interests. Be wary of potential conflicts between these interests and your public duties as MPs.
MPs who are in business, who occupy senior management positions in companies, or who sit on company boards, should be especially vigilant. You must not exploit your public position as Government MPs, your close contacts with the Ministers, or your access to government departments and civil servants, for your personal interest or the benefit of your employers. Your conduct must always be above board.
MPs who are employed by companies or industry associations may at times have to make public statements on behalf of their company or industry association. If you have to do so, make it clear that you are not speaking as an MP, but in your private, professional or business capacity. Do not use Parliamentary questions or speeches to lobby the Government on behalf of your businesses or clients. When you raise matters in Parliament related to your own businesses or your clients, be careful to first declare your pecuniary interest in the issue.
You may, however, relay feedback and speak freely to Ministers and other political office holders who are your Parliamentary colleagues. They will listen carefully to arguments on principles, especially when they relate to the general policy of their Ministries. But they will not exercise their discretion to change individual decisions without very good reasons which they can justify publicly. The Government must always base decisions on the merits of the issues, and not yield to pressure from interested parties.
