Commons Chamber9. Whether the introduction of a statutory register of lobbyists will require any changes to the Standing Orders of the House.
That will depend on proposals that will be published and scrutinised by the House in due course.
Will the Deputy Leader of the House explain why progress in establishing a statutory register seems to have been so slow?
As the hon. Gentleman will know, this is a complex issue on which the Government have been consulting. We are committed to building a system that provides transparency without hindering legitimate lobbying by those with an interest in Government policy. We will publish revised proposals later in the Session.
