The Press Association A PA Group Company

The Press Association's Lobby Extra team provides a specialist service for customers who wish to receive news of particular interest to them from Parliament and the Westminster village.

Regional newspapers and specialist media know the value of having a correspondent in the Parliamentary lobby, but most are unable to staff it themselves. The solution is Lobby Extra, a service from The Press Association which supplies regular stories tailor-made for individual publications.

Our Lobby Extra team is made up of experienced Westminster reporters based in the Parliamentary press gallery - just yards from the Commons chamber.

We provide stories from Parliamentary debates, written and oral answers given to MPs, select committees, press conferences, party conferences and the House of Lords.

Our greatest strength is being able to tailor our stories to clients' specific needs, by building a close relationship with key MPs and developing a detailed knowledge of the issues of most importance to them.

  • We are the oldest and most experienced news agency with a presence at Parliament.
  • More often than not, our reporters are the first to know when a hospital or transport scheme gets the go-ahead - or when an MP gets himself or herself into trouble!
  • Our clients often tell us it's the equivalent of having their own staff member in the lobby - for a fraction of the cost.
  • Some of Britain's most respected regional newspapers and a growing number of magazines entrust their Parliamentary coverage to Lobby Extra.
