Gifts—mainly the things you've raised—have been the biggest problem since I started this job. There are split feelings, I think, amongst MPs in particular, but amongst others—because of course, my largest group is the reporting public office holders and the public office holders. There are mixed feelings about the legitimacy of the rules, and there's a certain amount of resistance to what the rule is, I find.
It is a complicated subject because each decision has to be taken on the basis of the individual's connections with other people or with the people giving the gifts. I have an extensive set of guidelines, about 10 pages long, under the act. With respect to the code, I have tried to get guidelines. I have actually left guidelines with the procedures committee, which looks after the MPs' code, to consider, because under the code they have to be approved by the committee. I have done everything I possibly can to get guidelines out there.
Frankly, I think the resistance is more on what the rules are than on how they're being administered.
