Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many meetings (a) Ministers and (b) officials of his Department have had with (i) businesses and (ii) registered charities since his Department was established.
Answered by Greg Hands
Ministerial meetings are published quarterly on GOV.UK. Departmental officials regularly hold meetings with both businesses and registered charities. This information is not held centrally however, and to provide it would incur disproportionate costs.
