Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to his Department's publication HMT minsters' meetings, hospitality, gifts and overseas travel: 1 April to 30 June 2017, published on 13 October 2017, whether (a) representatives or employees of the firm which offered that hospitality and (b) lobbyists or contractors of those firms were present at those events.

With reference to the aforementioned publication, for meetings where a firm offered hospitality, representatives or employees of the firm were present.

As these events were hosted by external organisations, HM Treasury does not hold the full guest list for all events, and therefore cannot confirm whether contractors and lobbyists of those firms were present at each meeting.
