Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how much his Department has collected in fees for registering consultant lobbyists; how much he estimates his Department will collect in such fees in the first full year the register is in operation; what the running costs of the register have been to date; and what estimate he has made of the annual running costs of that register.

Details of implementation costs for 2014/15, running costs for 2015/16 and the total income intended to be recovered from registrants in 2015/16 are outlined in the business plan published by the Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/413521/ORCL_Business_Plan_2015-16.pdf
