§ Mr. George HowarthTo ask the Solicitor-General how many times she has refused to meet hon. Members on constituency matters since taking office; and if she will make a statement about the criteria she uses in arriving at such decisions. [30964]

I assess requests for meetings with hon. Members on a case by case basis, but generally I would agree to them unless there is a strong reason not to.
