Lobbying Bill

Asked if charities were wrong to claim the forthcoming Lobbying Bill would prevent them from speaking out on matters of public interest, the PMS said that provided charities were not promoting the electoral success or otherwise enhancing the standing of a particular party or political candidate, they would not be affected by this legislation.

Asked if the PM thought there was a problem with charities lobbying, the PMS said that at the 2010 general election very few charities were registered as third parties, and provided charities continued to campaign as the vast majority of them always had, they would not be affected.
