Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, if he will publish the minutes of all the meetings held during the St David's Day process.

I held a large number of meetings as part of the St David’s Day process. These included meetings with the parliamentary representatives of the four main political parties in Wales to identify which Silk Commission recommendations had political consensus to be taken forward. It was agreed that discussions at these meetings would remain confidential, and the Government has no plans to publish minutes.
