(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend regulation 5 of the Registration of Consultant Lobbyists Regulations 2015 to increase the annual charge per registered consultant lobbyist in connection with the maintenance of the register. The annual charge will increase from £700 to £950 per calendar year. If a person joins the register part way through a year, the annual charge will be calculated as the appropriate proportion of £950 for the remainder of that calendar year.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for these Regulations as no or minimal impact on the public, voluntary or private sectors is foreseen. A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely cost and benefits of complying with the Registration of Consultant Lobbyists Regulations 2015. A copy can be obtained from the Constitutional Settlement Division of the Cabinet Office, 1 Horse Guards Road, London, SW1A 2HQ.
2014 c. 4. The reference in section 22(2) to regulations means regulations made by the Minister: section 24(1); "the Minister" is defined in section 25(1). That section was amended by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Order 2015 (S.I. 2015/1376) and under article 3 of that Order this power is exercisable concurrently by the Secretary of State and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
