The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many meetings data companies have had with the Government to discuss ID cards; what the dates of those meetings were; and which companies attended those meetings.

Answered by Josh Simons

Information about Ministerial meetings, with data companies and others, is routinely published on GOV.UK in a quarterly transparency return. The latest Cabinet Office return can be found here.
