Welcome to the Lobbying Register | Clàr-Coiteachaidh   

**System Update Notice**

The current Lobbying Register will stop operating at 12pm on Thursday 7 May to allow for the rollout of our new system. Registrants will be onboarded from the week commencing 11 May, with onboarding emails issued throughout that week. For further information, please contact the Lobbying Register Team at lobbying@parliament.scot or 0131 348 5408.

The Register provides details of regulated lobbying undertaken since 12 March 2018, when it became a legal requirement to register and submit information returns in line with the provisions set out in The Lobbying (Scotland) Act 2016.

As such, the Register lists regulated lobbying undertaken face-to-face (including by video conference) of the following:

• a member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP)
• a member of the Scottish Government (Cabinet Secretaries and Scottish Law Officers)
• a junior Scottish Minister
• a Scottish Government Special Adviser or the Scottish Government’s Permanent Secretary (aside from Special Advisers, the only civil servant covered by regulated lobbying within the Act).

If you have any questions, or want to get in touch, please contact the Lobbying Register Team, The Scottish Parliament, EH99 1SP.
