Adequate consultation
10. As noted in paragraph 7 above, we were concerned
by the Department's failure to identify all those bodies which
had received copies of its consultation document on the proposal.
In light of this, we are disappointed that the Department has
made no comment or acknowledgement of the point made concerning
the desirability of properly identifying those parties who were
consulted on its proposal.
11. Subject to this point, we are satisfied that
the responsible Minister has had due regard to our previous report
on the proposal for the draft Order.
