Permalink Working for Israel: Lobbying clean-up is delayed – after lobbying

The Government is to delay moves to clean up the lobbying industry until 2013 despite growing calls for a clampdown after the controversy which triggered the resignation of Liam Fox. - David Cameron and Nick Clegg came under fire after it emerged that plans to set up a register of lobbyists, to be published next month, will not become law until 2013. In November last year, the Deputy Prime Minister promised legislation in the current parliamentary session, which ends next spring. But it has been delayed until the following 2012-13 session by a rearguard action by some lobbying firms and a range of other political reforms.
