Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what organisations or individuals Ministers or officials of his Department have met to discuss standardised packaging of tobacco in the last 12 months; which Ministers or officials were present at those meetings; and who represented each organisation present at those meetings.

Details of Ministerial meetings with external stakeholders are published quarterly in arrears on the Gov.UK website at:

The Department does not keep a central diary of the engagements that every Departmental official has had. In discharging their official duties, Ministers, special advisors and Departmental officials meet with representatives from a range of organisations.
