The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will list each of the business attendees who accompanied Arden Strategies at her Department's roundtable on 17 September 2024.

Answered by James Murray

The Government engaged with a number of different businesses and trade bodies in the run up to the International Investment Summit to help coordinate meetings with key investors as part of the usual course of business. It also has an ongoing business engagement programme run by officials. All external meetings between senior officials at Permanent Secretary and Director General are published on gov.uk in the usual way as part of the department’s quarterly transparency return.
