至少三位新任香港立法会议员，包括两大政党成员，未能在规定期限内申报公司股份持股情况，他们将此归咎于工作繁重或误解。南华早报调查发现，这些议员的申报遗漏涉及超过1%的股份。
香港立法会新任议员中，至少三位未能按时申报公司股份持股，这是南华早报通过检查40位首次当选议员的申报并与公司注册处记录交叉比对得出的结论。这些议员包括民主建港协进联盟（DAB）的郭芙蓉和孔锦腾，以及律师苏绍聪。
申报截止日期为周三，郭芙蓉在周四接受南华早报采访时表示：“我还是新人，需要处理许多事务，比如[新]办公室和会议。”她补充道：“我一直对自己的行为、利益申报和发言非常谨慎。这次是个诚实的错误。”
根据立法会规则，议员必须在每届任期首次会议前申报任何公司或机构的股份持股超过总股份1%的部分。其他两位议员也归咎于工作负担或对规则的误解。
这一事件凸显了新议员适应立法职责的挑战，尽管他们强调这是无意疏忽。立法会共有40位首次议员，此事尚未引发正式调查，但强调了透明度的重要性。
