Summary: Adrian Goldberg lifts the lid on the curious world of parliamentary lobbying and consultancies. And he asks the question - should Members of Parliament or their researchers be paid by private companies or pressure groups who want to bend their ear? One lobbyist spills the beans on his own efforts to influence people in power, while a former minister admits he wasted his chance to clean up the Commons. Plus, he reveals that Guinness World Records does not recognise the 100-year-old marathon runner, Fauja Singh, because he has not been able to present a birth certificate.
