In which I am grumpy and middle aged about the government’s ability to manage the consultation process
January 28, 2013Anything happening?
Have the Treasury updated the tax tracker since December 7th?
Erm… that’d be a “no“.
Has the government decided to follow the advice of the House of Lords Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee and appoint someone like the NAO to undertake an urgent review of their changes to consultation policy?
Erm… that’d be the people who accused them of “sneaking” their consultations out just before long holidays? Unlikely.
If they DO decide to review the changes, are they planning on meeting the House of Lords suggested deadline of reporting by Easter?
“We believe that the process needs to be reviewed urgently. We are calling for the review to be done by an independent organisation such as the National Audit Office, and for the outcome of the review to be published by Easter.”
Erm… given it’s practically the end of January now and Easter is in, what, 61 days (and that’s calendar days, not working days) I leave that question for discussion. Please use one side of the paper only, and be careful to show your workings in full.
