Independent Networks Co-operative Association Ltd

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Wilcox on 24 June (WA 207), why the note of the meeting on 30 March does not cover discussion on the formation, management and the grant aiding of Independent Network Co-operative Association Ltd that informed the last 15 minutes of the meeting; which ministersand senior management the Head of Broadband Policy and Programmes referred to on 10 June in an email reply to Guy Jarvis; why the note was not passed to the Permanent Secretary; and whether they will place it in the Library of the House.
Answer

The note of the meeting on 30 March was intended to inform recipients, principally in Broadband Delivery UK, about discussion of universal broadband that took place at the meeting and was not intended to be a full note of the whole meeting. It was not necessary or appropriate to pass this routine note to the Permanent Secretary. The note has already been released pursuant to a request under the Freedom of Information Act, but I will place a copy in the Library of the House. The Ministers and senior management referred to in the 10 June email reply to Guy Jarvis were Jeremy Hunt MP, Vince Cable MP, David Willetts MP, Baroness Wilcox, Ed Vaizey MP, Simon Fraser, Jonathan Stephens, Philip Rutnam, Rachel Sandby-Thomas, David Hendon, Sam Sharps and Rachel Clark.
