Professor Gary Murphy:

That is fine. I am not convinced the regulation as it currently works under the Act, or the addendum in the Bill, would impact significantly on political activism. However, I reiterate the point that in the context of charities, where there is potential for abuse of significant public money, the more openness and transparency we have regarding who is lobbying who, whether that is in the not-for-profit, business or trade union sectors, the better.
