Lobbying for Foreigners

Tales from the Lobby

Available for over a year

In 1938 the US government introduced a Foreign Agents registration Act, prompted in part by fears of Nazi agents working in the US. Now Bob Seely MP wants to introduce an upgraded version over here. But what exactly are his concerns? Michael Crick meets two men who have lobbied for foreign governments, while Richard Brooks of Private Eye outlines how widespread he thinks the problems are. The producer in Bristol is Miles Warde.
