Political Review - Spring 2008
Budget Time tends to busy for lobbying companies. Of course, they need to study the
detail for the benefit of their clients, and the devil can indeed be in the detail, buried
amongst hundreds of pages of background releases. The other common product at Budget
time is for lobbyists to rush to prepare Budget summaries for general distribution. I have
always been rather sceptical of the value of these efforts not least because they tend to
cover the same ground as the newspapers on the day after the Budget.
