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

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Such is the paucity of the drafting of the Bill—cobbled together, I think, at the last minute—that the real danger is that even the people who the Government think do consultant lobbying do not do it in the terms of the Bill, and will therefore be excluded from the register. The Government may think that 350 organisations will be

covered, but I think that that is a very dubious, dodgy number. I think that it is more likely to be 35 or three and a half or even three.
