Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to respond to the calls for greater control over lobbying made by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations in its report, No Rules Britannia? The UK’s lobbying laws exposed on the global stage, published in April.

In addition to steps this Government has already taken to improve transparency, in particular through the introduction of the monthly register of ministers' gifts and hospitality, the Government continues to develop its broader work on ethics and standards and will provide an update in due course.
