In recent days, both international development secretary Douglas Alexander and energy minister Joan Ruddock responded to parliamentary questions on the issue from Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker.
Alexander said: 'In its response to a report by the Public Administration Select Committee ... the Government agreed to publish online, on a quarterly basis, information about ministerial meetings with outside interest groups.'
He added: 'Information for the period 1 October to 31 December 2009 will be published by departments as soon as the information is ready.'
