Consultant lobbying firms

Not named as a client of a consultant lobbying firm on the Register of Consultant Lobbyists in the quarters we hold. Lobbying done by an organisation's own staff does not have to be registered.

About these records. Each row is one entry in a minister’s published meetings return, so a meeting with two ministers appears once for each. Dates and purposes are shown as the department published them. Published under these names too: “the Country Land and Business Association”, “Country land and business association”, “Country Land and Business Association (Gavin Lane & Jonathan Roberts)”, “Country Land and Business Association (Gavin Lane)”, “Country Land and Business Association (Victoria Vyvyan)”, “Country Land & Business Association”, “The Country Land and Business Association”.
