uin	HL6868
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2018 answer text <p>Granular information on consultations across all individual departments is not centrally held in the form requested, as individual departments are responsible for their consultations. The Cabinet Office is responsible for the Government Consultation Principles, which provide departments with guidance on conducting consultations. That guidance sets out that consultations and any response to them should be published on gov.uk. The Cabinet Office is taking further steps to assess the number of public consultations which have closed but have not concluded.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 30/04/2018 16:58:08 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
