Written question asked by Lord Mann (Labour) on Thursday, 9 July 2009, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 13 July 2009. It was answered by David Kidney (Labour) on Monday, 20 July 2009 on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.


UDM-Vendside

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change on how many occasions (a) officials and (b) lawyers from his Department have visited UDM-Vendside headquarters in Mansfield since 1997.
Answer

Officials and Department's legal advisers have had formal business meetings with UDM/Vendside on a number of occasions but we don't have comprehensive records of these, and an accurate number is not, therefore, available. I should also add that similar business meetings have also taken place with the Claimants' Solicitors Group.
