Lobbying on behalf of LACA is done by volunteers from the group's membership on a part-time ad hoc basis only. As LACA's focus is primarily the UK, it lobbies infrequently within Europe, so the 'number of persons engaged in activities falling under the scope of the Transparency Register' amounts to an approximately 5-10 FTE days per year, i.e 0,02-0,04 FTE persons per year.
