iThis list sets out the Chancellor of the Exchequers meetings with senior media

executives for the period May 2010-July 2011. This includes all meetings with

proprietors, senior executives and editors of media organisations for both

newspapers and broadcast media. It does not include those meetings with journalists

that ended up in interviews that appeared in the public domain, either in newspapers

and magazines. It may also exclude some larger social events at which senior media

executives may have been present.

This is the fullest possible list assembled from the Chancellor of the Exchequers

Parliamentary diary, his departmental diary, personal diary and memory. Every effort

has been taken to ensure that this is as accurate as possible but the nature of such

an extensive exercise means something may have inadvertently got missed
