# The Conduct of Members (Model Code of Conduct) (Wales) Order 2001, Paragraph 17


(1) In relation to a matter which a member has delegated authority to decide, the member will have a personal interest if a member of the public might reasonably perceive a conflict between the member’s role in taking that decision on behalf of the authority as a whole and the member’s role in representing the interests of constituents in the member’s ward.
(2) A member with a personal interest in a matter which that member has delegated authority to decide must disclose the existence and nature of the interest, and withdraw from involvement in the decision, and refer it to a member or committee having power to take the decision. In the case of a county or county borough council operating executive arrangements, the fact that such a declaration has been made must be included in the record of the decision.
