Responses to consultations
From time to time government bodies and public agencies consult on matters of policy development, seeking views and ideas on new proposals.
Parliamentary Committees will also hold inquiries on public issues or scrutinise proposed legislation, and will issue calls for evidence.
On this page we publish our recent responses to government consultations and parliamentary calls for evidence.
