About the Register of Consultant Lobbyists
It is not always clear whose interests are being represented by consultant lobbyists. The Register will address this problem, improve transparency of the lobbying industry and set out what ethical principles lobbyists follow.
The Register requires anyone who lobbies on behalf of a third party to:
- give the names of their clients
- declare whether or not they subscribe to a relevant code of conduct
