Dear HM Treasury,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am requesting documents that contain the following information in relation to the below meetings:

• A full list of attendees, including full names and titles as well as who the attendee represents
• A copy of the meeting agenda
• Meeting notes/minutes taken during the meeting, as well as any briefing notes and papers and summary documents

05/06/2023 - Joanna Penn, Aviva Investors (Meeting to discuss green finance)
20/07/2023 - Andrew Griffith, Investment Association, Rothschilds, BAE Systems, Babcock International Group, QuinetiQ (ESG in Defence roundtable)

I also request any documents for meetings between HMT and financial market participants between 06/2023-12/2023 regarding sustainability, transition financing, and sustainable finance regulation (e.g. MiFID, Solvency II, UK SDR, UK Green Taxonomy). I have attached a list of potentially relevant meetings; I am aware this is a long list of meetings due to the general nature of the meeting descriptions, so if it is more convenient, could you provide me with a copy of the agenda for each meeting which would allow me to better identify relevant ones?
