Under Tony Blair, cabinet meetings were held most Thursdays of the year, in addition to a handful of emergency Cabinet meetings. It is not possible to determine exactly how many meetings were held, but we can safely assume that in Tony Blair's decade in power, approximately 500 meetings of the Cabinet - give or take roughly a dozen - were held, in addition to many more meetings of Cabinet committees.

Many kinds of meetings are held in business. Probably the most common are staff meetings, project team meetings, process and procedure meetings, and quarterly meetings

Public meetings are held in government settings. Meetings of Congress, statehouses, and cities all hold meetings open to the public.

Meetings are the issue, it is not the circumstances

We have meetings to be organized and aware of things that are going on.
