The gift relationship is very, very important. For many constituents, from a whole range of backgrounds, it's hugely important for them to be able to symbolically show their gratitude to members of Parliament, but again, how does that influence the actions of a member of Parliament?
All of us will have those complicated and sometimes awkward conversations; people may want to give us things and we may feel awkward about receiving them, but if we register it and are transparent about it.... Where people sincerely and genuinely want to express their thanks for something a member of Parliament has done for them in their role as a member of Parliament, I'm not confident that that becomes a conflict of interest. That becomes part of a gift relationship, and it is something that it would be extremely rude and discourteous to not accept from that constituent.
