Luxury property developer lobbies on freezing foreign assets legislation
Here is The Lobby Monitor's weekly roundup of stories.
This week The Lobby Monitor reported on the United Kingdom's newly passed lobbying bill, which will create a new registrar responsible to cabinet. Sound familiar? We also ran a profile on PCO Clerk Wayne Wouters and reported on new registrations and think tank news from the Manning Networking Conference. The Lobby Monitor will also be at the Manning conference this weekend, so look for more coverage, as well as a new feature next week called "Policy Map."
