Publish the Agenda from the Tech-Industry Leaders with Government Officials
Government must publish the full agenda discussed at the meeting of tech-industry leaders and Government Officials in March 2020. The full minutes for the meeting itself, in the best case, must be made a matter of public record, as well as fully transparent details of all legislative consequences.
This is a request for publishing highly relevant information per the Freedom of Information Act 2000. If the meeting in question was indeed for the purpose of tackling the Covid-19 emergency situation, as is claimed, the public have a right to be informed and the Government have an obligation to provide details of anything discussed in this context. Indeed this should forestall any attempt to exempt the contents of this meeting as such information is surely vital for national security.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act must be made directly to the relevant Government department.
It appears the request you are making relates to meetings of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, the minutes for which you can find here: www.gov.uk/search/transparency-and-freedom-of-information-releases?organisations%5B%5D=scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies&parent=scientific-advisory-group-for-emergencies
