I don’t like the idea of MPs having private meetings with corpos at all. Unless it’s discussion of something that would be a national security issue, I don’t see why any meetings shouldn’t all be on public record

I’m struggling to understand what the criticism is here, minster for technology meets with tech companies too much?
So the big tech companies were present at ~1 in 6 of the meetings with tech companies.
Maybe I’m being naive somehow but that all reads as minister for X meets influential people in X to discuss X.

This was my query: Are these meetings butter-up luncheons?
Or simply a minister attending meetings that are part of their job.
