Ministers and officials meet a range of organisations and stakeholders on a regular basis to discuss tobacco control. The Department does not keep a central diary of the engagements that every departmental official has had.

Details of Ministerial meetings with external stakeholders are published quarterly in arrears on the Gov.UK website. A copy of these has already been placed in the Library.
