HL Deb 11 October 1999 vol 605 c22WA
Lord Mancroft

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether Ministers have met with official representatives of the Countryside Alliance; and, if so, when, and with which Ministers present. [HL4053]

Lord Bassam of Brighton

No systematic record is kept of such information. However, from a trawl of relevant departments (Prime Minister's Office, Home Office, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions), no Ministers have formally met representatives of the Countryside Alliance.
