Motion Text

That this House believes that all financial and other support for all-party parliamentary groups should be declared in the Register of Interests; is alarmed by reports that a pharmaceutical company paid ú100,000 through lobbyists to set up and run health groups; and believes that the work of all party groups is undermined if they are used covertly to smuggle the manipulative influence of commercial bodies into Parliament.
