One return. The Bill provides that if any public official believes he or she has received a donation, for example, or performed an act of some kind that is inconsistent with the implementation of this legislation, he or she must make what is called an ad hoc declaration. He or she has to inform the relevant body within a reasonable period of that happening. At the moment, it is done on a retrospective basis. That is an important change in this Bill.
