Written question asked by Susan Elan Jones (Labour) on Thursday, 9 March 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 13 March 2017. It was answered by Alan Duncan (Conservative) on Friday, 17 March 2017 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Meetings

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many meetings (a) Ministers and (b) officials of his Department have had with (i) businesses and (ii) registered charities in each of the last five years.

Answer

Details of Ministers' meetings with businesses and registered charities are published in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's quarterly return on ministerial meetings with external organisations. The returns for the five years to September 2016, the most recent date for which information has been published, can be viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/minister-data

Details of officials' meetings with external organisations are not held centrally and to collate such information would incur disproportionate cost.
