The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, when Scotland Office ministers or officials last met with Peter Mandleson; and what was discussed at that meeting.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

I refer you to the Government's response to the Urgent Question tabled on 12 February, the Written Ministerial Statement in the name of the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister that same day, and Oral Statement on 23 February which set out an update on the Government's process. We will set out further details in due course. The Government wishes to ensure that Parliament’s instruction is met with the urgency and transparency that it deserves.
