This short briefing provides a plain English overview of the impact the Lobbying Act is likely to have when it comes into place in September 2014.
The briefing is aimed at voluntary and community organisations who may engage in non-party campaigning. It explains what the rules are and how the Act relates to the Compact.
It also clarifies what some of the controversial aspects of the Act - such as spending thresholds and regulated activity - may mean in practice for your organisation.
