The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of introducing a requirement for consultation response feedback to be made publicly available.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Department publishes the government’s responses to consultations on GOV.UK. In line with the Cabinet Office consultation principles, these documents explain the responses that have been received from consultees and how they have informed the policy.
