It is a long-established precedent that information about the discussions that have taken place in Cabinet and its Committees, and how often they have met, is not normally shared publicly.
The Guide to Making Legislation (Available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-to-making-legislation) includes an account of the workings of the Parliamentary Business and Legislation Committee relating to legislation.
