Consultation forward look

July 22, 2013

There are twenty-three open consultations listed at gov.uk under “open consultations” and “HMRC”. And, yes, two cheers to gov.uk for introducing a way of separating out “open consultations” from “closed consultations” and “all consultations” at long last. Frustratingly, however, consultations are still listed in order of publication rather than the date which would actually be useful, the date on which they close!

Here, therefore, for your delight, delectation, and holiday planning, are links to all 23 in the order in which they close. However I have to add a caveat that I was about half way through compiling the list when I realised that a small number of the consultations had ancillary documents (powerpoint slides, notes of meetings and other material) linked from the same part of gov.uk but at that point it was clear that compiling this list was going to take me all morning and I didn’t have time to go back and check which ones did and didn’t have ancillary documents. If you’re interested in a particular document, go check!

But kudos to the Gov.uk people for introducing an “open consultations” tab at last! Woo, and indeed hoo. But look at this page where they tell you there are, as of today’s date, one hundred and twelve open consultations across government.

Has anyone told the government they’re supposed to be cutting down on regulation, not going for the record?
