Proceeding contribution from John Grogan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lobbying and Paid Advocacy.
Lobbying and Paid Advocacy
The noble Lord Whitty recently attacked the influence of lobbying companies representing producer interests in securing important amendments to the Digital Economy Bill. Given that, would it not be an affront to our democracy if that Bill, which has been so heavily influenced by lobbyists, were to be rushed through its Second Reading on Easter Tuesday—possibly as the Prime Minister is on his way to the Palace to seek the Dissolution of Parliament—and then rushed through its final stages in the wash-up?
