Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what recent representations he has received on recording of council meetings in public.
I refer the hon. Member to my written answer of 9 October 2014, PQ 208759, and the answer to her of 8 April 2014, Official Report, Column 222W.
We receive correspondence on a range of local government issues.
We have published a plain English guide on the openness of council meetings to help councils, the press and members of the public.
