Dear BEIS Correspondence,
Thank you for a reply,it was certainly interesting if not helpful.Do you know when the next Meeting is scheduled for?Given the well publicised problems of the Post Office to only feel the need to meet once a Year is remarkable from the Working Group.When compared to your departments constant contact with Chelsea during the problem of fans buying tickets for the beautiful game and a statement to MP'S that the Group would meet quarterly it also would seem dishonest and insulting
Yours sincerely,
john o'sullivan
Dear BEIS Correspondence,Back in April 2022 you advised that the last time the Working Group met was in May 2021.Can you confirm that the Group has not met sine then but if it has when.I understand in evidence presented to a Select Committee they were told that it "meets quarterly"
Yours sincerely,
john o'sullivan
