British Embassy Washington: Global Counsel

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many times employees of Global Counsel visited the UK Embassy in Washington following the appointment of Lord Mandelson, where (a) Lord Mandelson and (b) his office as Ambassador was involved in facilitating the visit.

Answer

I refer the Hon Member to the Government's statement and release of information on 1 June, which sets out the information available in response to the Humble Address. Aside from those ministers and senior UK officials whose meetings with external organisations are declared in quarterly transparency returns, it has never been the practice under any government routinely to publish details of all other external meetings.
