Every single Liverpool councillor’s gifts, hospitalities and declared interests
Max Caller’s devastating inspection report into Liverpool City Council revealed many failures with the authority.
One issue the report brought up was the updating of important registers for city councillors concerning gifts, hospitality invites and declared interests.
Councillors are required to regularly update records that show if they have accepted gifts or hospitality offers valued over a certain amount – usually £25 – and they must declare any personal interests to ensure decision making is seen by the public as open and honest.
In Mr Caller’s scathing report, it states that evidence indicated that both councillors and officers at Liverpool Council had a ‘limited understanding of declarations of interest and hospitality registers – these important documents that foster transparency.’
The report says it was clear that these important registers were not monitored, were often incorrect and rarely updated to reflect changes in circumstances.
Worryingly, Mr Caller noted that ‘majority’ of Councillors’ declarations of interest were updated since December 2020 – after the announcement of the inspection.
He said the gifts and hospitality registers appeared not to have been updated until midway through the inspection period.
Now that many of them have been updated, we thought it would be a good idea to include all of them in one place.
Below is an alphabetical list of all serving Liverpool councillors and all of their listed personal interests as well as any gifts or hospitalities they have declared since 2015.
We’ve elected to remove home addresses from the list.
Although he is not a councillor, the list includes Joe Anderson as he is listed on the council register as the current elected mayor, even though he has stepped away from his duties.
