Last year Michael Meacher asked a question about the 2013 Bilderberg meeting. Ken Clarke, perhaps because he was retiring from the Bilderberg Steering Committee, took part in a 20 minute discussion which is still available on YouTube...

This year Meacher asked a similar question about the 2014 Bilderberg meeting ( hansard 19/06/14 ) which received a terse and totally unsatisfactory answer from Andrea Leadsom. She is the Economic Secretary to the Treasury since 09/04/14.

So much for Government transparency!
