Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill (491KB PDF)
The Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill was introduced to the House of Commons on 17 July 2013.
The Bill would introduce a statutory register of consultant lobbyists and establish a Registrar to enforce the registration requirements. Election campaign spending by those not standing for election or registered as political parties would be more heavily regulated. The legal requirements placed on trade unions in relation to their obligation to keep their list of members up to date would be strengthened.
This briefing has been prepared to inform the Second Reading debate on the Bill which is scheduled to take place on 3 September 2013.
