Consultations

Consultations

We regularly invite members to comment on key consultations which are likely to affect the future of the industry. We also conduct informal internal consultations that allow our members to provide their views on how the organisation is run and influence its future. Our current consultations are listed below.

Click on the sponsoring department to view details of the consultation and learn more about how these changes might affect your business. Please note that we only retain information about consultations up to two months after the submission has been made to the relevant authority, however the final submission made to the authority can usually be found in our briefing papers section.

You'll find information divided by theme so whether you're interested in policy, technical or environment, this is the place to find out what we're up to!

This area of the site is currently undergoing development and we hope to include more consultations in the next few weeks - watch this space!
