Parliamentary Lobbying

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Parliamentary Lobbying.
My understanding is that all the meetings up to the end of April this year have been published. However, I will check up on the matter. It was my understanding because that information has been provided. On the point the hon. Member for Bassetlaw (John Mann) made, even some of his colleagues—I will not embarrass them by pointing them out—thought that his line about trade unions not being encompassed by the transparency rules is unsustainable. Given the fact that the party he represents gets 85% of its donations from trade unions and a quarter of its donations from a single trade union, I am afraid that his argument is simply not defensible.
