International Tobacco Growers Association

ITGA (the International Tobacco Growers Association) was supported by BAT Action on Smoking and Health (ASH),Christian Aid and Friends of the Earth (2005) "BAT in its Own Words" with the aim of promoting the economic benefits of tobacco growing. In this extract from a BAT document written by Shabanji Opukah, BAT’s corporate social responsibility manager, it is clear that ITGA is being used to avoid regulation on the industry with specific reference to the World Health Organisation’s Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI). There is also declaration of the intent to undermine a study by the World Bank which argued that ‘the negative effects of tobacco control on employment have been greatly overstated’ Action on Smoking and Health (ASH),Christian Aid and Friends of the Earth (2005) "BAT in its Own Words" a claim that ITGA is used to deny.
:‘our efforts to ensure we get the most from our investment in ITGA is paying back. ITGA agreed to dedicate themselves to a number of core big areas of concern TFI and the issue of economic impact…Objective is to rebut the world bank study and get third world governments on our side on the issue’ 
This document shows ITGA was funded by BAT but despite this funding great efforts were made to ensure the association was seen to be independent. This can be seen in a BAT company memo which emphasises the: ‘need to remember that this is an ITGA/ farmers initiative and they should be doing the writing to governments’ referring to the tactic of using ITGA to encourage farmers to lobby governments on the importance of tobacco growing to the economy. BAT uses this method of using third world tobacco growers as a front because they are seen to have the ‘moral high ground’ Action on Smoking and Health (ASH),Christian Aid and Friends of the Earth (2005) "BAT in its Own Words" and more credibility than industry insiders.

International Visitor Leader Program

The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), formerly the Foreign Leader Program, is a professional exchange programme funded by the U.S. Department of State. A BBC Magazine article reports that: 'As part of the highly prestigious - and expensive - programme, participants are hand-picked to spend typically three weeks visiting Washington DC and three additional towns or cities, meeting their counterparts and other VIPs and experts - all highly valuable networking experience for any ambitious young man or woman on the climb.' Jon Kelly, 'How do you spot a future world leader?', BBC News Magazine, 29 March 2011. The article notes that in the UK alone, over 2,500 citizens have travelled to the US as part of the scheme including former UK prime ministers Edward Heath and Margaret Thatcher.
Key New Labour figures like Robin Cook, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson also participated in the scheme. Giles Scott-Smith argues that the programme helped to counter the Labour Party's 'drift towards the left' in the 1980s, noting that, 'What was at stake was the future direction of the party and the need to realign its international stance with American interest.' Giles Scott-Smith, 'Searching for the Successor Generation: Public Diplomacy, the US Embassy’s International Visitor Program and the Labour Party in the 1980s', British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Volume 8, Number 2, May 2006 , pp. 214-237. 
The BBC reported in March 2011 that 11 members of the UK cabinet are alumni of the programme. Jon Kelly, 'How do you spot a future world leader?', BBC News Magazine, 29 March 2011.

Invensys

Invensys was formed in 1999 from a merger of BTR and Siebe.
:Some businesses have a "secret love" of regulation, using complex rules to deter potential competitors or as a lucrative source of consultancy fees, according to the government's top adviser on red tape. Rick Haythornthwaite, the former chief executive of Invensys, who chairs the government-sponsored but independent Better Regulation Commission, makes the argument in today's Financial Times.
:He cites the City's opposition to the Financial Services Authority's proposals to remove the requirement for people working in wholesale financial services to be approved by it as one example of business's ambivalent attitude to deregulation. "There are many who privately benefit from complex and excessive regulation," he writes. "It supports an industry of regulatory consultants and can act as a convenient barrier to market entry." He highlights the "suspicion" of the government's legislative and regulatory reform bill, which has its second reading in the Commons today.
:One reason for it, he suggests, may be that: "Red tape is like an old teddy bear. We are ashamed to admit an attachment, but rather enjoy the reassurance it provides." Business lobby groups are backing the government's plans to cut red tape. But the bill, which will give the government powers to fast-track amendments or abolitions of regulations with reduced parliamentary scrutiny, is facing a backlash from MPs.
