“Something of an afterthought. I suppose this little kerfuffle re-inforces our view that the HM Government Code of Practice on consultations needs complete revision. There are lots of issues - but the use of social media is certainly one of them!” -

“Listening again to the AudioBoo I recorded a few minutes ago, I realise that it would have been helpful to add that Richard was most unhappy with the results of his enquiry. The OCS even said that 'it held no information related to the findings; there is even email correspondence suggesting that the OCS did not have the resources to collate responses in one place. One wonders whether anyone would have bothered to submit their views if they knew that the Consultor wasn't going to analyse them properly. There is a real scandal lurking somewhere here - we need some more Caulfields or a few investigative journalists to prise it open” -

“Thanks for your response Kate (??) As you can imagine at the Institute we try hard not to be impartial on controversies where there will clearly be a range opinions. Instead I try to comment on 'process' aspects and in the Topic we published this week claimed that there are indeed circumstances where a selected audience ,might be okay. I think people have to make their own judgements as to whether the PM was justified this week - and if you were to look at our three scenarios you might well argue that these conditions were not met. But I would leave that judgement to you ... email sam@consultationinstitute.org and he will send you the full Topic paper ????” -
