The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what details relating to (a) social, (b) political and (c) official meetings with senior media executive Ministers are required to publish.

Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare

Departments are required to publish details of Ministers’ social, political and official meetings with senior media figures, quarterly in arrears on GOV.UK. The Cabinet Office issues guidance to departments, available on GOV.UK detailing minimum standards for meeting descriptions to ensure declarations contain relevant and instructive information. Departments are also required to disclose ministers’ diarised phone calls and virtual meetings, as well as in-person meetings.
