Chapter 19 - Relations with the executive government
Declaration
of interest
Neither the
questioner nor a minister answering a question is required to declare an
interest. Following a challenge to a minister to declare his interest in a
matter on which he was providing an answer to a question without notice, President Sibraa ruled that
senators do not need to declare an interest (SD, 28/5/1992, pp 2900-3; for
declarations of interests in debate, see Chapter 10, Debate).
