Proceeding contribution from Lord Robathan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lobbying and Paid Advocacy.

Lobbying and Paid Advocacy

In her statement the Leader of the House said that partially to avoid "any inappropriate or undue influence . . . details of Ministers' meetings with outside interest groups and individuals" are published. Given that we are told, and we see on the television, that Charlie Whelan has regular access to 10 Downing street and is alleged to have a desk in 10 Downing street, can the Leader of the House assure us that any meeting between the Prime Minister and Charlie Whelan is published?
