(a – g) Lobbyists engage with Government from time to time. The nature of contact from lobbyists is broad and may range from an unprompted phone call or email or an in-person meeting.
Given the broad nature of the Member's question, which has been asked to all Ministers and their staff, the resources required to collate this information would be substantial. If the Member has a more specific question regarding a particular lobbyist or company, I will endeavour to provide a response.
