To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many meetings (a) Ministers and (b) officials from her Department and its predecessor held with Sovereign Strategy in each year between 1997 and 2006. (136858)

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 11 July 2006, Official Report, column 1759W. Ministers have held no meetings with Sovereign Strategy since my earlier answer. It would entail disproportionate cost to provide the information requested for predecessor Departments for the whole period since 1997.
