The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many internal meetings his Department held on the National Investigation Service between January 2020 and December 2022.

Answered by Blair McDougall

Regular meetings are a routine way of conducting departmental business. These are not tracked and recorded, so this information is not held in a reportable form by the Department for Business and Trade.
