Respond to a government consultation
Government departments and public authorities may ask for views on proposed policies, services or changes to the law.
Find a consultation
Search open government consultations.
Each consultation should explain:
- what the authority is proposing and why
- who can respond
- how to send your views
- the closing date
If there are no open consultations, there is nothing to respond to at present. You can check again later.
Send a response
Open the consultation you want to respond to and follow its published response instructions. Some consultations may offer an online form. Others may use a different correspondence route.
A consultation response goes to the authority responsible for the consultation, not automatically to the Cabinet Office. Do not send a response using an unrelated GOV.UH form.
Find the outcome
After a consultation closes, the responsible authority should publish its response or explain the next steps.
