Lobbying 'to be reformed by 2015'

The government is "determined" to introduce a register of lobbyists before 2015, constitutional reform minister Mark Harper has said. At a Commons committee hearing, Mr Harper pledged to publish a draft bill during this parliamentary session. Labour criticised the coalition for failing to include legislation on lobbying in the Queen's Speech. But the minister told MPs that any suggestion that the reforms had been abandoned was "misleading". At the Commons political and constitutional reform committee, Mr Harper defended the proposals as MPs described them as "shoddy" and "weak".
