Committee presses for register of lobbying to be established
Channel: The Scottish Parliament
Date: 2015-02-06

The Scottish Parliament’s Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee has concluded that a register of lobbying should be established, making information about the lobbying of Parliament and Government, more transparent and accessible to the public. The register proposed by the committee in a report issued on Friday February 6 would cover ‘significant’ lobbying activity where organisations have sustained contact with politicians or where organisations spend significant money employing staff to seek to influence MSPs. This video provides a sample of the views shared with the committee in its inquiry. Further information about the report and the report itself can be accessed on The Scottish Parliament’s website: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/parliamentarybusiness/CurrentCommittees/68068.aspx
