Methodology note
Integrity Index uses a risk-score model where higher scores indicate higher publicly documented integrity risk. For the Parliament page, profiles are included only where the person is listed in the official National Assembly member directory. Evidence scores are added when a source-linked item has been reviewed against the published Scoring Criteria and Scoring Sources pages.
