Cabinet meetings

The Cabinet’s policy is to conduct its business as openly as possible. Minutes and papers are published as soon as possible following clearance at the next meeting but no sooner than 6 weeks after the respective meeting. We withhold material from publication only where there is an overriding reason for doing 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.
