Contents
Leading Labour's lobbying overhaul
In September 2014 Nandy was involved in helping to oversee the Labour Party's plans to turn the Government’s limited lobbying register into something far bigger. Labour has already been clear that it will broaden out the lobbying register from the Government’s narrow focus on ‘consultant lobbyists’. They hope to add many more names and extra details on to the register so that lobbying transparency will be far more extensive. [4]
Some have seen this plan as a signal that Labour is keen to crack down on lobbyists, but Nandy suggests otherwise, saying that: 'I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of lobbyists are engaged in perfectly legitimate activity'. [4]
Nandy hopes to 'lead Labour down the road to lobbying transparency', saying 'why wouldn’t we make this information available in a 21st-century democracy?'. Nandy and the Labour party feel that it is incredibly important to try and put public confidence back into the activity of lobbying and the industry. [4]
Statement after Third Energy fracking approval in North Yorkshire
- 'The controversy over this application shows fracking is still hugely contentious yet the Tories abandoned their promise of tougher safeguards. We need robust rules to offer communities reassurance that the environmental risks will be properly managed and local concerns will be listened to. There should be a moratorium until stronger protections are in place.' [5]
Constituency
In the 2015 general election, Nandy was re-elected as Labour MP for Wigan with a majority of 14,236. [6]
