Public Consultation
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to his Department’s press release entitled Ministers rip up consultation culture, published on 26 March 2026, whether Ministers will publish a list of consultation and reporting requirements that are removed or amended under the reforms.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
No decision has currently been taken on which requirements have been removed or amended under the reforms.Any removal of statutory consultation duties will require legislation, and so parliament will be able to scrutinise these changes in the ordinary way.
