Dear Charity Commission for England and Wales,
I see in articles 170-172 of the Charities Act 2011 that the public have access to the accounts of a charity.
But is there any legislation that either specifically permits or specifically prevents public access to Ordinary meetings of the charity (not just the AGM or any EGMs) and to the agendas and minutes etc of these Ordinary meetings?
If so, can you please identify this legislation?
If not, can you please confirm it doesn't exist (in which case do the public have a right to access Ordinary meetings or does the charity have the right to prevent public access to Ordinary meetings?).
Some clarity would be very much appreciated.

Yours faithfully,
Riley A Cooke
