The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (the department) received the following request for information which we responded to under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA):
My request relates to a meeting between Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary, and Earl of Lytton, Earl of Devon, Lord Thurlow, on 15/06/2022. The meeting was held to discuss the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Bill.
Under the act, I would like to request complete copies of the minutes and agenda of this meeting. I would also like to request complete copies of all and any documents (such as briefing material, letters, memos, emails, memorandums of conversations) which were prepared for or connected with this meeting, either before or after the event.
I would also like to ask your department on answering this request to provide a schedule of documents which are relevant to this request. I believe that there should be a brief description of each relevant document including the nature of the document, the date of the document, and whether the document is being released or not. I believe that providing such a schedule would clarify what documents are being released and what is being withheld, and would also represent best practice in open government.
