Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 September 2013. It occurred during Debate on bill on Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill.


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

Some of us are very pleased that the Government are introducing a Bill to deal with transparency of lobbying, which the previous Government never did. There has been an enormous amount of hype and overstatement, but perhaps some improvements could be and need to be made. May I have a clear undertaking that next week’s Committee stage will be open to amendments from across the House, including from relevant Select Committees with an interest in and knowledge of the subject?
