Question 22: To ask the Minister for Transport if he keeps minutes of meetings between himself and other Government Ministers; if not, the reason he does not; if so, the reason these minutes are not available through the Freedom of Information Act 1997; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I meet other Government Ministers on a regular basis. The preparation of minutes would not arise from all such meetings. Where minutes are prepared and the subject matter relates to matters for consideration by the Government such minutes are exempt records under section 19 of the Freedom of Information Acts 1997 and 2003.
