East Devon's MP: "What people want is transparency and accountability."

From Hansard earlier today:

Sir Hugo Swire (East Devon) (Con)

The spotlight is on the proceedings and behaviour of all of us in this place as never before. 


What people want is transparency and accountability. 

Does my right hon. Friend not agree that it is time, finally, to address the issue of privileged access, lobbying and funding if we are not to have this repeated time and time again? 

Does he not agree that all organisations involved in active lobbying of Members of Parliament and Ministers should open their books and be entirely transparent, so that we can see who is lobbying whom and who is providing the funding?
