Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)Labour
I call Alberto Costa on a point of order in connection with the code of conduct, to rectify a failure to declare.
Alberto Costa (South Leicestershire) (Con)Conservative
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I would like to apologise to the House for failing to declare an interest during a debate on 16 July 2025 about the Committee on Standards’ third report of the 2024-25 Session, which concerns the Register of Interests of Members’ Staff. During the debate, I inadvertently failed to declare a relevant interest: I employ my wife, who is subject to the rules about the Register of Interests of Members’ Staff. This was in breach of the House’s rules and I apologise to the House for this error.
I thank the hon. Member for his point of order. There will be no further points of order on this issue.
