Demos

Mr. Watson
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what (a) private meetings and (b) public engagements Ministers in his Department have attended at which representatives from the think-tank Demos were present in the last 12 months; and if he will make a statement.

Phil Hope
In the last 12 months, I attended a meeting with Demos on 4 February 2009.

Mr. Watson
To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether his Department has any contracts with the think-tank Demos.

The Department has had no contracts with the think-tank Demos since it assisted with the partial funding of “Making It Personal” published in January 2008.
