Meetings with Local Government Representatives (Transcripts)

HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 cc257-8W

Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if it is the practice of his Department to prepare transcripts of meetings between his Department and representatives of local government.

Mr. Freeson

It is not the practice of the Department to take transcripts—of the nature of verbatim reports—of such meetings with local government representatives, but normally a short note of the gist and conclusions of meetings is made for departmental record purposes.
