Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
To maintain integrity in decision making, public office holders should proactively and as a matter of course, satisfy themselves as to the identity of the person or organisation lobbying them (and where appropriate their client or employer), the reason for the approach and should keep a record of such meetings.
