DCMS Meetings…

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Following the furoreover Cameron’s close contacts with Murdoch’s News Corp and Tory attempts to claim previous Labour Government was similarly close, I asked DCMS to let me have details of all my meetings. Here is the first batch from June 2009 to January 2010 which had previously been subject to an FOI request so easier to retrieve. The rest will follow when DCMS can produce them:
