Introduction
1.These explanatory notes relate to the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Act 2014, which received Royal Assent on 30th January 2014. They have been prepared by the Cabinet Office and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in order to assist the reader in understanding the Act. These explanatory notes do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by Parliament.
2.The notes need to be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section or part of a section does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
