The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will take steps to require statutory declarations of lobbying activity.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

The Government continues to keep transparency around lobbying under review, and will factor into consideration any relevant international comparators, and PACAC's post-legislative scrutiny of the 2014 Lobbying Act, as any policy reforms are considered.
