Lord Truscott

Question: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills if he will place in the Library a copy of the minutes of each meeting held between officials in his Department and Lord Truscott since the latter ceased to be a Government Minister.

Answer: During the passage of the Energy Bill, officials from the Energy Bill Management Team in BERR met with a range of Peers and other interested stakeholders to answer questions and clarify the policy in the Bill. This included one meeting on 22 July with Lord Truscott. There are no minutes but I have placed information concerning the meeting in the Library, including correspondence between Lord Truscott's researcher and officials from the Department seeking clarification on some of the discussion points at the meeting.
