HC Deb 04 December 2002 vol 395 cc911-2W
Dr. Fox

To ask the Secretary of State for Health which voluntary organisations and charities he and his departmental Ministers expect to meet during December; and what issues they expect to discuss. [84038]

Mr. Lammy

Ministers and civil servants have meetings with a wide range of organisations and individuals as part of the process of policy development and analysis. As with previous Administrations, it is not this Government's practice to provide details of all such meetings. All such contacts are conducted in accordance with the Ministerial Code, the Civil Service Code and Guidance for Civil Servants: Contacts with Lobbyists.
