Lobbying
(asked on 25th February 2016) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will issue a response to EDM 1138, Anti-lobbying Clause in Government Grant Agreements.
This question was answered on 2nd March 2016
The grants clause announced on 6 February prevents recipients of taxpayer-funded grants from using them to lobby rather than for the purposes for which they were given.
The clause does not prevent grant recipients from meeting with ministers, responding to public consultations or giving evidence to select committees.
