 :When Gordon Brown reshuffled his team after taking office as Prime Minister, the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) wasted no time in seeking consultation with key Ministers on issues that are of concern to the funeral profession…. A General Election would have resulted in a further reshuffle, so Gordon Brown’s decision not to go to the country means the All Party Parliamentary Funerals and Bereavement Group can continue to develop its excellent relationships and solicit the support of the new Ministers. <ref>[http://www.nafd.org.uk/funeral-profession/industry-news/latest-news/nafd-lobby-new-ministers.aspx NAFD seizes the chance to lobby new Ministers], NAFD website, accessed 20 July 2009</ref>

 How groups keep their accounts is up to them, except that they must keep sufficient records to be able to meet the registration requirements detailed in the Guide to the Rules on All-Party Groups. Any member of either House may turn up and speak at any meeting of any group; anyone else may only attend if invited by the group. Groups have no official status in Parliament. Hence although some basic information about them is registered they are in most regards subject to a light regulatory regime, but are not under any lawful obligation to make their minutes or accounts publicly available.<ref>[http://www.parliament.uk/documents/pcfs/pcfsgroupsrules.pdf Guide To The Rules On All-Party Groups, House of Commons], ParliamentaryUK website, accessed January 9th 2019</ref>
