Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department plan to extend the scope of the Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists to include (a) in-house lobbyists, (b) trade bodies, (c) think tanks and (d) campaigning organisations.

The Government continues to keep transparency around lobbying under review, and will factor into consideration any relevant international comparators, and PACAC's post-legislative scrutiny of the 2014 Lobbying Act, as any policy reforms are considered.
