Consultation documents for "A new regime for charging..

[RobinLondon]

Just as a reminder, you can vent your spleen (constructively, perhaps!) by responding to the IND regarding the consultation documents for the "New regime for charging for immigration and nationality applications". To find the proper format for responding, please go to the following website:

The relevant consultation is at the top of the page. The links to "consultation document" and "responses pro forma" are the most helpful. The "regulatory impact assessment" is quite interesting as well.

Good luck in your responses. Mind the 22 December deadline!

The more cynical amongst might say.....why bother? When the Home Office says "consultation" what they really mean is "this is the way it's going to be but we can't seem too draconian about it so let's pretend like we actually care what those affected think".

[RobinLondon]

I agree completely with what you write. However, I'm not fully prepared to abdicate my role in the political process, as meaningless as it may ultimately be.

I think they generally publish either the results of the consultation, or a summary of it, so that dissenters will at least be able to point at the bit where the government justifies (or fails to...) their decision to do the opposite.
