Newly released documents expose Liverpool city councillors accepting over £3,600 in gifts and hospitality in the last six months, including international cricket tickets, trips to China, and even a chocolate bar. Despite the requirement to declare gifts valued at £50 or more within 28 days, some significant gifts like Councillor Nick Smalls £2,750 trip to China went unreported. Lord Mayor Barbara Murray received 8 offers, including flowers and a chocolate bar. Officials emphasize the importance of logging accepted and rejected offers for transparency and ethical governance.
