    David Cameron condemned over 'ridiculous' reforms to lobbying

    Courtesy Independent.........

    New scrutiny for legislation regarded as a joke within £2bn industry

    David Cameron's flagship law to end Britain's lobbying scandals is a "useless dog's breakfast"

    and the Government should urgently postpone its current fast-tracked progress through Westminster,

    according to the head of the Commons committee that has scrutinised the reform.

    Graham Allen, who leads the Political and Constitutional Reform Select Committee, has taken

    the unusual step of recalling his committee ahead of MPs' return to Parliament next month, to hold

    special evidence sessions involving leading figures from the UK lobbying industry.

    "The new lobbying law is rushed and ridiculous," said Mr Allen. He told The Independent: "Instead of

    addressing the Prime Minister's promise to 'shine the light of transparency' on lobbying, this flawed

    legislation will mean we'll all be back in a year facing another scandal. It is a dog's breakfast."
