Cabinet Office written question – answered at on 19 April 2017.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many meetings were held between civil servants, advisers or Ministers of 10 Downing Street and Uber between May 2010 and July 2016.
The correct answer should have been:
Details of Ministers and Permanent Secretary meetings with external organisations, are published routinely on Gov.uk
Information about meetings between other Civil Servants and external organisations is not centrally held and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
More broadly, I would note that the Government is aware of concerns regarding the increase in the size of the private hire market and the impact of new and innovative ways of working on traditional business models. The Government supports choice for consumers and wants to see both taxis and private hire vehicles prosper.
