British Energy: Invesco

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change with reference to the answer of 26 November 2008, Official Report, column 2133W, on British Energy: EDF, if he will place in the Library a copy of the (a) agenda and (b) minutes of the meeting held with Invesco.
Answer

No. I can say that the meeting with Invesco was held at the request of Invesco, the second largest shareholder in British Energy after HMG. There was no agenda, nor was a formal minute taken. Invesco and HMG expressed their respective views about a possible takeover offer for British Energy by EDF. The details of what was discussed are commercially confidential.
