(i) Any councillor arriving after the start of the meeting is asked to declare personal interests as necessary as soon as practicable after their arrival even if the item in question has been considered;

(ii) If a councillor has a prejudicial interest in a matter being discussed at the meeting they must declare this as soon as that interest becomes apparent to them. They should then leave the room, unless members of the public are allowed to make representations, give evidence or answer questions about the matter, by statutory right or otherwise. They must immediately leave the room once they have finished or when the meeting decides that they have finished (if that is earlier). They cannot remain in the room to observe the vote on the matter.

(iii) It is not practical to offer detailed advice during the meeting on whether or not a personal interest should be declared, or whether a personal interest should also be regarded as prejudicial.
