UKPAC’s register inconsistent with APPC’s register?
Keeping the data up-to-date at Who’s Lobbying is a labourious job. It’s not helped by when we find there are inconsistencies between the new UK Public Affairs Council register and the Association of Professional Political Consultants register.
The UKPAC register lists the firm Advocate as having 1 staff member and 3 clients for the period Sep-Nov 2010.

The APPC register lists Advocate with 5 staff and 16 clients for the same period.

This leaves us wondering how we should represent this information on the Who’s Lobbying website. Should we stick to sourcing data from the APPC register and ignore the UKPAC register?
