The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, for what reason his meeting with the Prime Minister of Mauritius on 23 July 2024 was not included in the transparency data entitled FCDO ministerial gifts, hospitality, travel and meetings, July to September 2024, published on 30 January 2025; and if he will update that record.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

As per standard practice, the Government Transparency data for July-September 2024 records the Foreign Secretary's meetings with external organisations. Bilateral meetings between the Foreign Secretary and other Governments are not required to be disclosed as part of this exercise.
