％的數以千計的商業遊說公司，推銷的影響力和在布魯塞爾訪問迄今已選定簽署它。 Thanks to the recent insight into the affairs of the rich and powerful, we should be under no illusion in Britain that undue influence is also being exerted on our policy-makers.由於最近的洞察事務的富國和強國，我們應該抱有任何幻想在英國，不當的影響力也正在盡我們的決策者。 Our lobbying industry, which today includes law and accountancy firms, management consultancies, think tanks, charities and others,

in politics.它還試圖找出什麼樣的影響，這是在對公眾信任的政治。 The recommendations the select committee will make in the next few weeks are key.建議的專責委員會將在未來幾週是關鍵。 If it finds, much as the British public suspects, that there
