Government launch its review of consultation policy: "Effective Consultation: asking the right questions, asking the right people, listening to the answers".

This document forms the centre piece of the Cabinet Office's review of central government consultation policy The consultation is aimed at anyone with an interest in responding to government consultation exercises, from those who regularly respond to the Government's consultations to those who might be interested in doing so

The Cabinet Office wants to hear views on how central Government departments and their agencies currently consult, how their consultations can be improved, and how Government policy on consultation could bring about these improvements.

Please share your views with the Cabinet Office either by submitting a formal, written response to the questions in the "Effective Consultation" document or by posting comments on the "Have Your say" page, both of which are available on the Cabinet Office website www.consultations.gov.uk.

The Forestry Commission is playing a full part in the cross-government initiative to ease the burden that government regulation imposes on business in England.

We are doing this by taking forward the forestry-related elements of the initiative and examining the regulations we are responsible for.

The aims of the initiative are to: reduce and address the cost of the administrative burden placed on UK businesses, charities and voluntary organisations by regulation; and simplify regulations for business and citizens.

For further information on the Commission's role please contact Allan Dungavel, 0131 314 6468 or e-mail: allan.dungavel@forestry.gsi.gov.uk Further information about the Better Regulation initiative generally is available at www.betterregulation.gov.uk.
