Lobbying is an important function that enables industry to
engage in the development of government policy by sharing direct
experience and expertise with decision-makers. It is often a key
part of a stakeholder engagement strategy.
With Scotland facing a chronic housing shortage, steep
net zero targets, and significant cuts to public funding, it feels
more important than ever for the private sector's voice to be
heard within the Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament. With
the latest programme for government having been recently announced,
the legislative agenda for the year is set. In the run up to the
election next year, the SNP has a final opportunity to legislate in
government before going to the country.
