An error has been identified in the written answer given on 18 April 2017.

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.

Does this answer the above question?
