Lord Tyler – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Tyler on 2016-02-09.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Home Office will publish records of external meetings held by special advisers to its ministers.

Lord Bates

The Government publishes an unprecedented amount of data; departments publish details of Ministers’ and Permanent Secretaries’ meetings with external organisations, and Special Advisers’ meetings with senior media figures.

The information requested is not held centrally and there are no plans to extend current arrangements.
