Under the Ordinance, "donation" is defined as "in relation to an election, means any money received, whether before, during or after that election, by a candidate, his election agent and by any other person on the candidate's behalf for the purpose of meeting, defraying or contributing to, the cost of that candidate's election expenses at that election, and includes any part of a donation".

  2. For the purpose of stating the details of sponsor(s) and donation involved, a Member may attach a copy of the statement of donations which he submitted to the returning officer (without the detailed receipts) under s.29(2)(b) and (c) of the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Ordinance (Cap. 288).

  3. A Member is expected to make the necessary enquiries of his spouse in order to make a full and timely return on the registration of interests relating to financial sponsorships.

  4. Please refer to note (b) of Category 1 for the definition of "material benefit".

  5. You should include any material benefit or advantage received gratis or at a price below that generally available to members of the public.

  6. Where a company is named as sponsor, please indicate briefly the nature of its business.
