AIRPORT Consultative Committee members yesterday rejected an ICAC recommendation that they declare their financial interests.
Instead, they voted for a system under which they will have to disclose their interests only if they relate to the issue being discussed.
The two systems were suggested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) for the committee, which was established three years ago.
But the ICAC backed the tougher disclosure guidelines, saying they were needed because of the wide range of matters and the sensitivity of some information the committee considered.
The tougher guidelines have been generally adopted by the Government's representative bodies.
A committee member, Leung Kwong-cheong, said the information the committee handled was not sensitive.
