Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation (the Committee's words)
Regulations under the statute should be confined to requiring councils to have public registers of interests, to setting out the framework of interests which must be included in those registers, and to requiring councils to have rules covering declaration, withdrawal, and disciplinary procedures.
