I call Charlotte Cane on a point of order in connection with the code of conduct to rectify a failure to declare.
Charlotte Cane
Liberal Democrat, Ely and East Cambridgeshire
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I would like to apologise to the House for failing to declare an interest when tabling three written parliamentary questions to the Treasury and one written parliamentary question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. When I tabled those questions, I inadvertently failed to declare a relevant interest: the receipt of hospitality from the Jockey Club. That was in breach of the rules and I apologise to the House for this error.

I thank the hon. Member for her point of order. There will be no further points of order on this issue.
The Deputy speaker is in charge of proceedings of the House of Commons in the absence of the Speaker.
The deputy speaker's formal title is Chairman of Ways and Means, one of whose functions is to preside over the House of Commons when it is in a Committee of the Whole House.
The deputy speaker also presides over the Budget.
