Diolch yn fawr, Cadeirydd. Yes, Harry, I wonder—you mentioned the review that's going on, I think, the parliamentary committee review. In terms of lessons learned over the seven years or so, and particularly, I guess, from what you've told us and what we've…

I'm looking at the briefing we had for the meeting, and it refers to the VAT registration issue, as you mentioned, Harry. It says that there have been a number of controversies in recent years, 'of particular note, see the registrars findings in relation to…

And finally, in terms of co-ordination and experience sharing between the different registrars in the British isles and beyond, is that something that happens regularly, in a systematic way?
, Standards of Conduct Committee
Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session 2
Thank you. In terms of public awareness, then, of the requirements of the register, the system in place, has much been done to ensure that the public are aware of everything they need to know about?

Would you be able to provide us with information on those things that are perceived as needing change? Have you got to that stage?

Okay. Thanks for that. A final question from me, Chair. In terms of co-ordination and information sharing between the different registrars that we have in the UK or further afield, is there anything systematic that happens, or is it more informal?
, Standards of Conduct Committee
Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session 1
Okay. That's great. You mentioned some of the work you did to raise awareness of the register and the requirements. Has anything been done in terms of public awareness, to make sure the public's aware of the register and the information recorded?

Diolch yn fawr, Chair. Could I ask, first of all—? I take it there are no geographical limitations in terms of lobbying organisations and whether or not they're caught by the legislation. Would that be right?
, Standards of Conduct Committee
Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session 1
Yes. Okay, thank you.

Yes, the overall aims and objectives—what was intended to be achieved.

Thanks, Chair. I'm just wondering whether there's anything built into the systems you have around the register on evaluation and monitoring—anything that looks at the effects that the register was expected to have and whether that's been achieved in practice?…

Motion under Standing Order 17.42(ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting
Item 6, then, is a motion under Standing Order 17.42 to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of this meeting. Again, is committee content? You are. Thank you very much. We will move to private session.
