About DfT consultations

Consultations are carried out in accordance with the Cabinet Office Code of Practice on Written Consultation (http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/regulation/consultation/index.asp). The consultation period will normally last a minimum of 12 weeks, although there are circumstances in which shorter consultations will be unavoidable (e.g. where tight timescales are dictated by EU processes).

A draft (Partial) Regulatory Impact Assessment will be included as part of most consultations and always where proposals may create burdens for business.

If you think that the code of practice has not been followed please contact:
