Cabinet Meetings

The Cabinet’s policy is to conduct its business as openly as possible. Accordingly, we publish the minutes, papers and agendas of its meetings unless there are overriding reasons not to.  Minutes and papers are published as soon as possible following clearance at the next meeting but no sooner than six weeks after the respective meeting.  Please follow the links on the left hand side of the page.

We withhold material from publication only where there is an overriding reason for doing this. So we do not include in the published versions of Cabinet papers or minutes anything which:

• is commercially sensitive;
• relates to the Welsh Government Budget or other budgetary or financial matters;
• contains or alludes to information received in confidence from a third party;
• would otherwise cause substantial harm if disclosed.

However, the documents which appear on this site are otherwise exactly the same as those considered by the Cabinet.
