Providing transparency guidance is the responsibility of the Cabinet Office which publishes guidance which the Treasury, like all government departments, implements. Transparency releases are published on a quarterly basis and are currently publicly available for Ministerial meetings up to and including September 2020, which is in line with normal reporting timelines on disclosures.
