The Minister spoke about things being unacceptable. Nowhere in the amendment is there a question of subject matter being recorded; it is just a case of noting the fact that lobbying has taken place. The amendment will clearly not be accepted so I will leave it at that. We are entitled to know in principle if a public official has been lobbied while abroad. I am not at all confident that this will be captured by the SIPO legislation, as I am not a bit confident in it, not in the slightest.
