Transparency Code
Section 5(7) of the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 provides that the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform shall prepare and publish a code, to be known as the Transparency Code. It sets out how certain relevant public bodies, such as ministerial advisory groups, may conduct their activities in a transparent way.
By adhering to the Transparency Code, communications within these bodies would meet the exemption from the requirement to register and report on lobbying activities.
Relevant bodies exempted under the Transparency Code

- Working Group on the Defective Concrete Blocks Scheme (no longer active)
- National Housing Strategy for People with a Disability - Implementation Monitoring Group (IMG)
