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.
For some time now, UK Fisheries Departments have been engaging with the fishing industry on new methods of sanctioning fishermen who break the law. The proposed scheme sets out a system of fixed level Financial Administrative Penalties (FAPs) which will be offered as an alternative to criminal prosecution in certain circumstances.
The proposed implementation date for the new regime is 1 April 2008.
