Case Study 1 Lobbying Introduction
Lobbying is used by many different groups such asspecial interest, businesses or individuals to influence the
contents of laws or regulations.
There are many different ways that the system is used to
control lobbying.

time. In business or our personal lives to get what we want.

The Transparency of Lobbying, non-Party Campaigning,
and Trade Union Administration Bill would set a
390,000 cap on the amount any organisation -

This law will be supervised by the government and it will
now go to the committee stage
A register of lobbyists would be set up.
For example the American system is full of third partiesbeing used as vehicles by political parties to
circumnavigate political rules and funding rules. The
government may yet offer to remove several clauses,
including ones that say campaigning can count as
political if it procures success for a candidate, even if itdoes not endorse a specific party.

It was agreed at the time that Mr Stonecipher was doing
an excellent job. The previous CEO had resigned due to
defence scandals which resulted in two staff being sent
to prison.
Since taken over shares in the company have risen 50%
This raises the issue of what is most important in a large
companymorals or profits ?
It can be said that companies with large public exposure
are measured highly against morality and Ethics than
profits in this case.

The growing phenomenal of Ethics officers are growingin the US. Considering that the UK are 10 to 20 years
behind the US business practices is this something we
have to look forward to ?
Ethics can be seen as the decision between aperson/company view of what is the correct thing to do.
Is it proportional to the general interest ?
Depending on your standpoint one persons righteous
ethics can be another persons evil.
