To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list consultations his Department has conducted since 1997; and when each consultation (a) opened and (b) closed. [97423]
The Home Department holds central records on issued consultations from 1997 for the Home Office, its non-departmental public bodies and agencies. Current consultation papers can be found on the website on http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/consultations/consult_papers.htm. Archived consultation papers can be found on http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/atoz/consuarchive.htm Determining all the details requested in the question for the archived records would require access to records at a disproportionate cost. However, the online archive does contain details of the consultation period for most of the consultation documents listed.In order to give the fullest reply I have listed the details available for 2001/2002 Home Office consultation exercises.
