All-Party Parliamentary Intellectual Property Group
Revision as of 16:42, 16 April 2010 by Claire Robinson (talk | contribs)
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]
