Leaked documents reveal Uber lobbied top UK ministers at undeclared meetings
Mr Johnson was reluctant to engage with Uber directly because the company was so controversial.
A spokesperson for Mr Javid said the "relevant departments hold no record of the meeting said to have taken place". A note from Uber's public policy chief Corey Owens to Mr Kalanick makes it clear that the company regarded this as an opportunity to advance its cause with the chancellor, and not just a social occasion.
The 2010 version, which was in force when these meetings occurred, said: "Ministers meet many people and organisations and consider a wide range of views as part of the formulation of Government policy. Departments will publish, at least quarterly, details of Ministers' external meetings." Priti Patel, now home secretary, met with an Uber lobbyist in Paris in January 2016, when she was minister of state for employment. The meeting wasn't declared.The files show a follow up letter from the minister proposing a partnership with Uber.
