Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what meetings his Department has had with Macquarie Bank since May 2010; and who was present at such meetings.

Staff from the Department for Transport routinely meet a range of organisations from both the public and private sectors. The Department does not, as a matter of routine, collect data on the total number of meetings by staff with specific organisations.

The Permanent Secretary had no meetings with representatives of Macquarie Bank since assuming the post in 2012. One Director General has had two meetings with representatives of Macquarie Bank since May 2012.

Additionally, details of ministerial meetings with external organisations are published quarterly and can be found at:
