The information in the registry has not been updated by regulation. The regulations in place are for pre-arranged meetings. That is set out in the regulations.
That said, they have not been touched since 2008. There are things I would like to change, but I don't have the power to do so. If I make recommendations, I have to do it through the government of the day, as opposed to through Parliament, for example.
I'm not asking for authorization without review, consideration or consultation. However, it would be worthwhile to be able to make recommendations on regulations without having to wait for a review of the Lobbying Act.
