Asked by: Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat - Kingston and Surbiton)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many meetings (a) he, (b) ministers of his Department and (c) officials of his Department have had with (i) representatives of (a) Cambridge Analytica, (b) SCL and (c) Global Science Research and (ii) Alexander Nix.

Answered by Guto Bebb

The records show that there have been no meetings between Ministers in the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Cambridge Analytica, SCL Group, Global Science Research or Alexander Nix.


As with all Government Departments, the MOD publishes quarterly details of Ministers' meetings with external organisations on gov.uk. These can be found at the following link:

A list of meetings with officials can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
