Pete Wishart

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many times she has visited Scotland on official duties each year since 2000; and what meetings were held on each occasion. [103616]

Margaret Beckett

I visit Scotland from time to time on official duties. In line with Exemptions 2 and 7 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information, it is not the normal practice of Governments to release details of specific meetings or their content, as some of these discussions may have taken place on a confidential basis.
