Part of Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill – in the House of Commons at 4:00 pm on 22 January 2014.
Can the hon. Gentleman recall any massive public outcry against the excesses of organisations like the British Legion, Oxfam and Save the Children in order to get the Bill through? Can he recall the outcry, from the Prime Minister and everyone else, against the greedy activities of corporate lobbyists? The Bill is designed to distract attention from the Government’s failure to deal with corporate lobbyists by attaching blame to the minnows, the small charities.
