To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many(a) conferences and (b) seminars were convened by her Department in each year since 1997; what the costs were of each event; and how many were cancelled. [161146]

Ms Hewitt

The Department does not maintain a central register of conferences and seminars held and is therefore unable to provide the numbers and costs requested.
