Regulation of Lobbying

Section 6(4) of the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 requires each public body to publish a list of designated Public Officials of the body.

The purpose of this list is:

  1. To allow members of the public to identify those persons who are designated public officials; and
  2. As a resource for lobbyists filing a return to the Register who may need to source a designated public official’s details.
