DP18/8 response form

We are asking for comments on this interim report by 31 January 2019.

Please use this online form or alternatively email: [email protected]

We make all responses to formal consultation available for public inspection unless the respondent requests otherwise. We will not regard a standard confidentiality statement in an email message as a request for non-disclosure.

Despite this, we may be asked to disclose a confidential response under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We may consult you if we receive such a request. Any decision we make not to disclose the response is reviewable by the Information Commissioner and the Information Rights Tribunal.

Once you complete this form, we will email you a copy of your submission to acknowledge receipt of your response.
