Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, on how many occasions the Reducing Regulation Committee has met; what decisions have flowed from those meetings; and if he will make a statement.

Oliver Dowden, Parliamentary Secretary (Minister for Implementation): The Reducing Regulation sub-Committee considers issues related to reducing regulation. Information relating to the proceedings of Cabinet Committees, including when and how often they meet and minutes of their proceedings, is not publicly disclosed to protect the principles of collective responsibility.
