Unlock Democracy – Demand a robust lobbying register

With the advent of a new lobbying scandal, Unlock Democracy are inviting supporters to co-sign a letter to the Minister responsible for publishing Government proposals on lobbying.

From the Unlock Democracy website:

The latest lobbying scandal involving the Department of Energy and Climate Change merely highlights the need for the government to introduce a robust statutory register of lobbying.

New minister Chloe Smith is in charge of publishing new proposals, which are due for publication in the next few months. She can’t afford to miss that deadline; otherwise the chance of introducing new legislation in the next Queen’s Speech will be under threat. We can’t afford to wait another year for her to take action.
