Strongly agree

No, set a policy that private dialogue is necessary for efficient public administration

Agree

No

The party typically argues ministers need to meet a wide range of stakeholders, including the private sector, and has relied on disclosure regimes rather than prohibitions (e.g., Cabinet Office transparency releases; Ministerial Code framework).

Agree

No, focus on voluntary self-regulation and periodic ethics reports

The party often favors lighter-touch regulation and self-regulatory/standards-based approaches, though it has accepted some mandatory reporting; periodic ethics reporting aligns somewhat with its preference for non-burdensome oversight.

Slightly agree

Yes, focus on real-time digital transparency of all government agendas

Conservatives support transparency in principle (e.g., publishing ministers’ meetings), but have not typically pushed for real-time, comprehensive digital logging of all agendas; likely mild/conditional support rather than strong agreement.

Disagree

Yes

Conservatives have generally resisted blanket restrictions on ministerial engagement with business/lobbyists, preferring existing transparency rules (e.g., quarterly ministerial meeting disclosures) over outright bans.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, immediate universal ban and criminal sanctions for "off-the-record" meetings

A universal immediate ban with criminal sanctions is far more stringent than Conservative approaches to lobbying/ethics reform, which have tended to be incremental and non-criminal (e.g., post-2010 transparency measures; limited statutory lobbying register in 2014).
