DISCLOSURE RULE FOR 'POLITICAL' MASONS From: J B Moffatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 1 Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2002 17:59:21 +0100 From: J B Moffatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: DISCLOSURE RULE FOR 'POLITICAL' MASONS CELTIC LEAGUE PRESS INFORMATION DISCLOSURE RULE FOR 'POLITICAL' MASONS New guidelines to be introduced into the Scottish parliament this week will shed some light on the role of Freemasons in political life with MSPs being forced to declare their membership of the secret society. The new disclosure rules have been drawn up by the Standards Committee made up of MSPs and they also ensure that MSPs disclose their share holdings, if they are over £25,000 in any one company. Membership of other bodies will also be declarable. The Standards Committee will also recommend that the parliament sets up a register of commercial lobbying companies which seek to influence Members of Parliament, including names of their staff and their clients. They are also calling for the Executive to set up a parallel scheme to ensure that lobbying of ministers and civil servants should be opened up to public scrutiny with a more transparent system. It is to be hoped that the implications of this Scottish model which in effect should generally ensure more transparency in public life, will be extended to other Parliaments and Assemblies in these Islands. The influence of the Masonic order on the Scottish political scene at first glance seems fairly small but in other smaller jurisdictions such as the Isle of Man some senior figures in government are reputedly members of the sect.
