HC Deb 24 July 2002 vol 389 c1291W
Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what public consultations have been commenced by his Department since 1 April; and what the(a) closing date and (b) website address of each were. [72063]

Ms Rosie Winterton

The titles and closing dates of each of the written national public consultations commenced by the Lord Chancellor's Department since 1 April are listed.

Each national public consultation carried out by the Department is normally published on the Lord Chancellor's Department website at http://www.lcd.gov.uk/consult/confr.htm. However the third and fourth of these consultation papers were originally published online by the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions at http://www.elections.dtlr.gov.uk/consult. Following the recent machinery of Government changes both of these papers now fall under the responsibility of the Lord Chancellor's Department. Arrangements are currently being made for their transfer onto the Lord Chancellor's Department website.
