VerbatimParliament, as it happens

Bowmer + Kirkland

Asked by Chris HinchliffLabourDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 29 June 2026UIN 12006

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether all meetings with Bowmer and Kirkland representatives since 2010 have been published in departmental transparency returns.

Answered by Chris McDonald

Details of meetings held by Ministers of the Department for Business and Trade have been routinely published on the transparency pages of gov.uk since the department’s establishment in February 2023. Meetings which took place prior to this period were published by its predecessor departments in their own transparency returns. The requested information is therefore not held centrally and could only be located at disproportionate cost.
