<p>The Department has received numerous representations regarding Uber from individuals,
trade bodies, driver representation organisations and regulatory bodies. However,
since the Department does not hold information categorised as requested, this information

at the Department indicates that there was one meeting in 2015, six in 2016 and three
in 2017 (as of 24 November).</p>
