(iii) under a contract or any other agreement, and

(b) the Member knows that the source of income was, or is reasonably expected to be, received for the provision by the Member of any service involving the use of the Member’s parliamentary position,

the disclosure required by subclause (1) in relation to that source of income must also include a description that is reasonably sufficient to identify the business carried on by the employer, body or other party to the contract or agreement (as the case may be).
