To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 23 May 2007, Official Report, column 1334W, on the police: equal opportunities, whether the Minister for Security, Counter Terrorism and Police plans to attend the meeting of the Women in Police Steering Group on 28 June 2007; and if he will place in the Library copies of the minutes of the meeting. (143265)

The next meeting of the Women In Policing Steering Group will now take place on 25 July 2007 rather than on 28 June 2007. The Minister for Security, Counter Terrorism and Police plans to attend the meeting. As the purpose of the Group is to advise the Minister on policy matters it is therefore not normal practice for the minutes of its meetings to be placed in the public domain.
