When compared to other countries, Westminster
regulates far fewer lobbying organisations than other
countries:
• The US has 10 times more registered lobbyists per
million people than Westminster.
• The EU has more than 8 times as many registered
lobbyists per million people than Westminster.

Germany
Holyrood
Ireland

Once again, only Australia has a comparable number of
regulated and registered organisations on its lobbying
register. However, even in this case, there are more than
double the number of registered lobbyists than England
has, with a population less than half that of England.
Australia has no equivalent small business or VAT
exemption for registration.
• Scotland/Holyrood has 69 times more registered
lobbyists per million people than Westminster.
• Westminster lobbyists account for 0.5% of
lobbyists registered across all jurisdictions
analysed (Westminster, USA, EU, IRE, AUS, CAN,
FRA, GER, Holyrood).
