One of the groups identified by the Times in 2006 which did not adequately disclose support from lobbying or PR firms, which 'list only the name of a lobbyist or public affairs consultant, and do not specify an ultimate client. This would appear to be a clear breach of parliamentary 1985 rules that state: “Where a public relations agency provides the assistance, the ultimate client should be named”[1]
The chair for the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Pharmacy is Howard Stoate.[2] He was a speaker (in his role with the APPG on Pharmacy) at UniChem's annual Conference in Brazil, with transport and accomodation provided by UniChem.[3]
