CP19/27: Quarterly Consultation Paper No 25

Consultation papers First published: Last updated: 13/12/2019

Once a quarter, we consult on proposed miscellaneous amendments to our Handbook. These tend to be minor changes but we still want to get your feedback on our proposals. Some of the proposed Brexit changes will only come into effect if the UK leaves the EU on 31 October 2019 without an implementation period.
