This site was set up in 2008, to help people find Government consultations more easily, and to show that it could be done: quickly and easily. The site has never been funded as such, and has relied on volunteers for maintenance and support. It hasn't had much maintenance recently and this shows: some consultations can't be found and some functions don't work as they should. We are currently seeking funding for a new version of TellThemWhatYouThink.
In the meantime, you can search a limited number of departments for open consultations at the Directgov Consultation Finder.
In July 2009, the Government published its Consumer White Paper "A Better Deal for Consumers: Delivering Real Help Now and Change for the Future". One of the commitments we made in the White Paper was to consult on banning the use of bills of sale for consumer lending.
