In accordance with the Ministerial Code of Conduct all Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries are required to make declarations concerning these matters should they arise, in addition to any potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest. As was the case under the previous Government, these declarations remain Cabinet-in-Confidence. Under the Members of Parliament (Financial Interests) Act 1992, however , primary and annual returns for all members are made public and are tabled in the relevant House of Parliament.
