Summertime blues
August 23, 2017It’s August, Parliament is not in session, Big Ben’s bongs are silent: yet there are still 62 open consultations listed on gov.uk. Less is more, guys, please! (At least, in the sense that we want less legislative activity and more administrative competence from our government, not that we want fewer consultations on what legislation they DO introduce, of course.)
However there are currently zero, count them, zero consultations listed from HMRC. Hurrah! and, is this unprecedented? Enquiring minds want to know! The sole HMT consultation is on developing the supply of capital for “innovative firms” (Bank of Dave, anyone???)
However – should you still be sitting in an office somewhere idly reading blog entries and pretending it’s work – there is another way you can contribute to the government’s developing policy and administrative agenda: yes, you too can Help Make Gov.uk Better by joining the panel of service users contributing to their research.
Yes, I’ve joined.
No, they still haven’t found a way of listing consultations in the order in which they close. Sigh.
