This consultation ran for 6 weeks from 21 September to 2 November 2017, and received 38 formal responses. Most responses were supportive of the Codes of Practice, and broadly in favour of the draft Digital Government (Disclosure of Information) Regulations. Revisions have been made to all documents in light of comments received.

We’re looking for views on whether the draft codes of practice and regulations on public service delivery are clear and usable.

This consultation ran from
10am on 21 September 2017 to 11:59pm on 2 November 2017

Part 5 of the Digital Economy Act 2017 gives government new powers to share personal information across organisational boundaries to improve public services. It says what data can be shared and for which purposes. It also includes safeguards to make sure that the privacy of citizens’ data is protected.

We’d like to know if these are clear, complete and transparent enough to use.
