Quote:
Before the last election, Mr Cameron said lobbying was 'the next big scandal waiting to happen'.
The Tory leader added: 'It's an issue that crosses party lines and has tainted our politics for too long, an issue that exposes the far-too-cosy relationship between politics, government, business and money.'
When the coalition was formed in 2010, it promised to 'regulate lobbying through introducing a statutory register of lobbyists and ensuring greater transparency'.
However the plans have been quietly shelved.
Just last week Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg appeared to blame Tory opposition for the register being dropped.
