Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster which public bodies, currently meeting in private, he proposes should in future meet in public.

Mr. Robert G. Hughes

It is for the boards of public bodies to exercise their discretion as to whether or not they wish to hold meetings in public, except in the cases where there is a specific statutory obligation to do so.
