The GLA Hospitality register for 2009

If you click HERE you can view the GLA gift and hospitality register. This details any gifts/ hospitality that your GLA member may have had, where the value of the gift is over £25 (please note that some members declare gifts under this value as well).

You can click on your own member's name and sort to see only their entries.

I thought I'd post the entries this year for all members. It is quite normal for public figures to accept an amount of hospitality, so their is no implied criticism of any member here. I am merely posting this to illustrate the fact that The GLA has this information on line. I personally would like to see this practice followed for all public figures.

One member you won't find on the register is Richard Barnbrook of the BNP. It seems no one likes him, so he's had no gifts at all.
