Public consultations (FOI)

​Request

Year on year the number of public consultations put out to the public from 2006 to 2016.

Please can we have a breakdown of the number per year and the departments the consultation was made from.

Response

Public consultations from 2007 to date are published on the States of Jersey website on the following link:

Consultations

Members of the public can view the consultations and supplementary information and can filter by year and by department.

This constitutes 11 years’ worth of consultation data. Information on consultations prior to this date is no longer held centrally.

As this information is already in the public domain it is exempt under Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.

Please also find attached a link to a question which has previously been answered in relation to this topic.
