The Consultation Principles (copy attached), which are published on Gov.uk, stress the importance of targeting consultations at a full range of people, businesses and voluntary bodies affected by the policy. The guidance notes that departments should consider targeting specific groups and ensure they are aware of the consultation and can access it.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 22/01/2018 14:02:37 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham attachment 1 file name Consultation Principles 2016 .pdf title Consultation Principles 2016
