Overview
Last Updated: April 15, 2026Alcohol Ltd is committed to full transparency regarding any lobbying activity that falls within the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Act 2014. Where reportable activity occurs, it is disclosed in the quarterly information return submitted to the Office of the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists (ORCL).
This page mirrors the structure of the quarterly return: clients on whose behalf reportable lobbying communications have been made (if any), and the named UK government officials contacted. Where no reportable activity has occurred in a given quarter, the relevant section is recorded as a nil return.
Any hospitality and gifts received or offered in connection with lobbying activity would be governed by our Gifts & Hospitality Policy, which sets out the standards and thresholds applicable to all staff and representatives.
