Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill

This is a £2 billion industry, and what we propose would cover almost all the activity that we can identify in it. It would not need to be costly; we have sat down with the industry, taken their advice and listened to their criticisms. They have told me that to complete a form of the kind proposed would take only a few moments a year and dramatically open up the whole industry. We will come to the register when we discuss other clauses. I am sure that you, Ms Primarolo,

will tell me that I cannot pursue a matter that is the subject of later amendments. We will come back to the costs of the register.
