Question
To ask the Leader of the House pursuant to the contribution of the Deputy Leader of the House of 10 September 2013, Official Report, column 893, when the planned meeting with the Shadow Minister for Political and Constitutional Reform, the Electoral Commission and the National Council for Voluntary Organisations will take place.
Answer
In September I met the chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations and separately the Chair of the Electoral Commission to
discuss the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill.
During the conference recess I held similar informal discussions with the Shadow Leader of the House of Commons. Details of my meetings and those of the Deputy Leader of the House of Commons with external organisations are published on a quarterly basis and can be accessed on GOV.UK at:
