LONDON — Britain’s foreign minister holidayed with a former lobbyist for the government of Gibraltar during a private trip to the contested territory last weekend.U.K. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly shared the same hotel as Ahzaz Chowdhury, a well-connected Conservative lobbyist and longstanding family friend, during the visit to Gibraltar, which was not publicized by the British government. While the trip did not breach any rules, transparency campaigners have raised concerns that details of informal relationships between lobbyists and U.K. ministers are often opaque and not sufficiently recorded. Chowdhury’s firm, Nudge Factory, has previously lobbied the U.K. government for projects on behalf of Gibraltar.

The governor of Gibraltar, David Steel, was also present at the meeti...
