Request for records of meetings involving representatives of parliamentary parties

Details of the request

I refer to a Cabinet Office circular dated 25 March 2024, intended for all private secretaries, a copy of which can be found here:

National, ACT and New Zealand First Coalition Government: Consultation and Operating Arrangements

Paragraph 38 of the circular advises agencies the following: “Agencies may, on occasion, be asked by their Minister to meet representatives of other parliamentary parties without the Minister present. On such occasions, all those at the meeting should clearly understand that officials are able to provide only a briefing on the issues. As a matter of practice, agencies are advised to keep a record of the substance of any such meeting and consider providing that record to all those who attended the meeting as well as to the Minister. It is also expected that a representative of the relevant portfolio Minister’s office or the Prime Minister’s office will attend these meetings.”

I request copies of all such records under the Official Information Act.
