Ethics and Integrity Commission: Lobbying, Business Appointment Rules and Disclosure

EIC-LBD-10

Published 9 July 2026 Addressed to Cabinet Office

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation (the Commission's words)
In parallel to progressing the primary legislation that will be needed to create a register of all lobbying activity, Cabinet Office should collate all departmental transparency releases and publish them on an accessible, centrally managed and searchable digital platform. This platform should be used to host the Lobbying Register once legislation is enacted.
