TellThemWhatYouThink doesn't work very well anymore

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.

Draft Company (Mergers and Divisions of Public Companies) (Amendments) Regulations 2008

Consultation published by The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform View original »

The Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) invites your views on the draft Companies (Mergers and Divisions of Public Companies) (Amendment) Regulations 2008. These regulations will implement Directive 2007/63/EC which removes the obligation for an independent expert's report to be compiled on the terms of a merger or division of a public limited liability company if all shareholders agree. The draft regulations also include provisions to bring the prohibition on companies holding their own shares in the case of Mergers (Article 19(2) of Directive 78/855/EEC) and Divisions (Article 17(2) of Directive 82/891/EEC (Divisions) in line with Cross Border Merger Regulations.

We welcome your comments on the draft regulations, by 28 February 2008.
