As the light aircraft people have stated, this consultation is badly flawed, does NOT meet government guidelines,
The consultation contravenes various provisions of the Government’s
Code of Practice on Consultation (September 2005)-
no list of consultees is included (see para. 2.6 of that
Code);
there is no glossary, despite the many technical terms (see para. 3.1);
it doesn’t ‘Invite respondents to comment on the extent to which the criteria have been adhered to and to suggest ways of further improving the consultation process’ (see para. 3.9).;
The consultation document should state the … the web address where, the summary of responses will be published (see para. 4.3).
In addition, some parts of the consultation do not satisfy the Principles of Good Regulation (see para. 6.6 of that code), in that they are not proportional or transparent (does any one really know what Option 2 means?).
The code binds UK agencies, such as the CAA, unless Ministers allow departures in exceptional circumstances.
The
Code of Practice on Consultation can be found at-
http://www.berr.gov.uk/bre/consultat...page44459.html
the address given at para. 3 in Annex L to the consultation is wrong.
Why does the CAA think that it does not need to bother to comply with the Code?
