Select Committee Inquiry |

16 Jul 2014
Government Consultation Practice Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The House of Lords Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee has launched an inquiry into Government consultation practice. In this inquiry, the committee will look at three sets of Regulations, from three different Departments as case studies of Government consultation practice. TimelineInterested parties were invited to submit written evidence by 30 September. On 18 November the Committee took oral evidence from the Rt Hon. David Laws MP, Minister of State for Education, and Lord Nash, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education, in relation to the consultation processes conducted by the Department for Education for the School Premises (England) Regulations 2012 and the Education (Independent Schools Standards) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2014. On 9 December the Committee took oral evidence from Rt Hon. Oliver Letwin MP, Minister for Government Policy in the Cabinet Office. |
31 Oct 2012
The Government's new approach to consultation Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions For a number of years the accepted standard has been for 12 weeks’ public consultation unless the proposing Department can give a reasonable justification that a shorter period is more appropriate to the specific circumstances, for example because the amendment is very technical affecting only a few specialists or because those affected have been involved in the negotiation of the Directive that the instrument implements and are content with the outcome. In a Written Statement, on 17 July 2012, Mr Letwin announced a new approach to consultation which proposes that consultations should follow a range of timescales at the discretion of the Department rather than defaulting to a 12-week period, and that consultation can take different forms but the expectation is that it will be "digital by default". The Committee has decided to look into this proposal in more depth and has issued a call for evidence seeking views from anyone interested in how the process of consultation should be conducted. Chair of the Committee, Lord Goodlad, said:
The Committee is particularly seeking views on:
We would be grateful for concise written responses by 30 November 2012 in advance of an oral evidence session with Mr Oliver Letwin, MP, Minister for Government Policy which will take place on December 11. It is not our current intention to call other witnesses for oral evidence. For information about how to submit your views, please see the call for written evidence. Material can be submitted by email to seclegscrutiny@parliament.uk or by post to Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee, House of Lords, London SW1A 0PW and should arrive no later than the end of November 2012. |
