Draft Legislative Programme

If consultation is to be meaningful and not thought to be a gimmick—and I welcome the idea of it—will the Leader of the House undertake to ensure that a summary of consultation results will be available to colleagues, and that the consultation will end in sufficient time for it to be able to influence the outcome? People would know that the consultation will end by the first week in October or something, we would see the results, and there would be a real dialogue with the Government in the month running up to the Queen’s Speech.
