<p>Details of meetings with ETS representatives is not held centrally. Home Office
Ministers and officials have meetings with a wide variety of international partners,
as well as organisations and individuals in the public and private sectors, as part
of the process of policy development and delivery. Details of Ministerial meetings
are passed to the Cabinet Office on a quarterly basis and are subsequently published
on the Gov.uk website:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/home-office-ministers-hospitality-data#history"

</a></p><p><br>I can, however, confirm that officials met with representatives from
ETS Global BV in 2017 to discuss settlement of the legal action the Department had
brought against the company. More recently discussions with ETS have focused on the
ongoing criminal trials of those believed to have helped organise and facilitate fraudulent
activity.</p>
