There is no formal policy in my Department with regard to note taking when I or Ministers of State meet business people, leaders or other contacts. The requirement for note taking depends on the particular context and is determined on a case by case basis, taking into account the nature, subject matter, length and location of the meeting. Any notes of meetings, as well as my diary, are subject to Freedom of Information legislation.
