	Schedule 1 to the Public Records Act 1958. This will place obligations on the advocates to properly protect and preserve records;
	Schedule 2 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967. This brings the advocates under the remit of the Commissioner and allows for complaints to be made and investigated, adding a layer of accountability;
	Schedule 1 to the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975. This prohibits any sitting MPs from also being an advocate;
	Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. This will bring the advocates under the remit of freedom of information requests and the information commissioner; and
