NEVILLE-JONES, Baroness

    *12(h)  Secretarial research and assistance

      In my capacity as Shadow Minister for Security, my office receives financial support from Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ).
      Research assistance - CCHQ have applied a donation from Mr. Dolar Popat to finance my Special Adviser. This has also been declared to the Electoral Commission by the Conservative Party.
      Secretarial assistance - CCHQ pay directly for part time secretarial assistance. No specific donor is involved; the funds come from general provision by the Conservative Party to support my work as a member of the Shadow Cabinet.
      These arrangements support me in carrying out my specific frontbench responsibilities as a Shadow Cabinet Minister. They do not support me in the performance of any other duties as a member of the House of Lords

      I wish to declare a donation from Robert Shetler-Jones. He contributes, via CCHQ, £5,000 a quarter to expenses I incur in the course of my work as a front bench Conservative peer. This began in February 2008.

      I wish to state that the costs I incur in the course of my work as a front bench peer have from 1 January 2009 been funded by Conservative Campaing Headquarters (CCHQ). This covers my Special Adviser, secretarial assistance and other incidental expenses. This system of funding replaces the application of donations by the party and means that the earlier declarations made by me in respect of Mr Dolar Popat and Mr Shetler-Jones no longer apply (14 January 2010).

    *12(i)  Visits

      Visit to Israel (6-10 April 2008) organised by the Conservative Friends of Israel, my share of the total cost being £2,250. This covered the airfare there and back, hotel and restaurant accommodation and travel inside the country including a share in a helicopter visit to the northern border
      Fact finding visit to the Syrian and Lebanese governments and Parliaments which took place between 6 and 11 January: The Conservative Middle East Council ( CMEC) paid for my fares to the region and back. In Syria, the Syrian Parliament bore the cost of accommodation, local transport and one dinner (at a total estimated cost of £505) while CMEC paid for incidental costs. In Lebanon, with the exception of one dinner given by the Lebanese Parliament, CMEC paid for all accommodation, transport and other costs arising locally. The total CMEC contribution to the costs of the visit was £1375 (3 February 2009)
      On 22-24 January 2009 attended the Franco British Colloque in Versailles where my hotel and dinner were paid at a cost of E1200
      On 25 February 2009 visited NATO which paid for a night's accommodation in Brussels at a cost of E155
      I received a ticket for the Conservative party Black and White party on Wednesday 4 February paid for by Conservative Campaign Headquarters
      Cost of return flights to Pakistan sponsored by Mr. Tariq Shah (16-21 February 2009) for myself and my assistant, Mr. Mark Phillips at £1537 each
      Cost of return business class flights to Bahrain for the Bahrain Security Forum sponsored by the Royal United Services Institute (22-26 February 2009) at £2450
      Cost of return flight for World Islamic Forum in Jakara (1-3 March 2009) at £4202

      Gift of a fountain pen from the King of Bahrain valued at £2,000
