I just recieved a reply from 10 Downing Street to my question "Can the Prime Minister tell us what was discussed at the 2013 Bilderberg meeting?".
Basically I was told that David Cameron attended in a private capacity, so no.. they can not tell me.
This is totally outrageous and possibly against Parliamentary rules regarding ministers secretly meeting with businessmen, lobbyists and foreign ministers.
Bilderberg claim all attendees attend in a private capacity.
However in 1997, cabinet minister Ken Clarke tried to wriggle out of not declaring his "free trip" to the 1993 Bilderberg meeting by claiming he (and Tony Blair) were attending as member of the Government and Opposition and he didn't think the declaring rules applied.
Here is the Parliamentary report:
In 1998 Tony Blair told Parliament that none of the members of Government had attended Bilderberg - a lie - because he himself did in 1993.
I find this all quite sinister.
This year they couldn't ignore Bilderberg in the media any longer so they went on the offensive with people like David Aaronvich sitting in on BBC political programs describing BIlderberg as only "mildly interesting". They also invited Alex Jones onto the program doing his best cartoon impression just to cement the idea that all "conspiracy theorists" are nutters.
This was one of many media attempts to downplay Bilderberg.
I hate politcal secrecy, it's the enemy of democracy.

Mr Clarke subsequently explained that he and Mr Blair considered that they were attending the conference as representatives of the Government and the Opposition respectively, and stated that `I was quite confident that I was at the time meeting the rules applying to Ministers, and it did not occur to me that the new rules concerning registration could apply to this visit'.
