Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury on 2016-02-10.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many meetings took place between May 2015 and January 2016 inclusive, in which ministers from HM Treasury discussed the future of Channel 4.

Lord O’Neill of Gatley

HM Treasury Ministers and officials have both regular discussions with colleagues and meetings with a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors as part of the process of policy development and delivery. It is not government practice to release details of routine officials’ discussions as to do so would be impracticable and potentially prejudice the effective conduct of public policy development. Details of ministerial and permanent secretary meetings with external organisations on departmental business are published on a quarterly basis and are available on the gov.uk website.
