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: “Imerys/British Lithium”. Sources: GOV.UK ministers’ meetings transparency returns and the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists quarterly returns, both under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
