What this table establishes

The records establish how many times each counterpart string appears in published returns.

They do not establish access, or what, if anything, followed from any meeting.

How it is made

Each row is the figure the publisher printed, in recorded meetings. Rows are ordered highest first; nothing is estimated, weighted or adjusted by Civometry.

The same organisation written two ways is two lines, and a cell naming several organisations is one line. Nothing is merged on the similarity of names.

Source: GOV.UK, Ministerial gifts, hospitality, travel and meetings returns · Open Government Licence v3.0. Period: every quarterly return GOV.UK has published since 2012 that the loader could read. The rank is Civometry’s ordering of published figures, not a judgement on anyone in the table.
