Agenda

Corporate Governance Committee
15 December 2006
10.00am
10 Dean Farrar Street, London, SW1H 0NY.

Part 1

Items to be considered while the press and public are present

1. Apologies for absence
2. To receive any declarations of interests from members of the Committee.
   In accordance with the MPA Code of Conduct, Members must declare any personal interests they have in any item on the agenda or as they arise during the course of the meeting. Members must orally indicate to which item their interest relates. If they have a personal interest Members must also consider whether or not that interest is a prejudicial personal interest and take the necessary action.
   • Advice to members:
     Although you should consult part 2 of the Code, a personal interest is, generally, one that affects you (individually or a person/body/organisation they have close connection with) more than other people in London. If a member of the public, knowing all the relevant facts, would view your personal interest in the item being considered as so great that it is likely to prejudice your judgement of the public interest, then you have a prejudicial personal interest.
   • Consequences:
     If you have a personal interest you must declare the interest but can stay, speak and vote. If you have a prejudicial personal interest you must declare the interest, you cannot speak or vote on the item and must leave the room.
