LEP Board
Register of
Interests
The Companies Act 2006 requires directors to avoid situations in which a director “has (or can have) a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the interests of the company”.
As a result of the Mary Ney Review into LEP governance and transparency and the revised National Assurance Framework, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government issued a new bespoke register of interest proforma for the collection and publication of the information which ensures all categories of interest are systematically considered.
These forms will be held by the LEP Executive and will be updated annually; as outlined in our Assurance Framework.

The move away from the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been driven by Brexit, resulting in the biggest shake-up in farm subsidies for over 50 years.
