Consultation process

Please see the consultation letter below for more information.

 

The Committee welcomes responses from both individuals and organisations. If you are responding on behalf of an organisation, please provide a brief description of the role of your organisation.

 

Generally, we ask for submissions to be made in writing because it is normal practice for the National Assembly to publish evidence provided to a Committee on our internet site so that it becomes part of the public record. However, we are also able to accept evidence in audio or video format.

 

The Committee welcomes contributions in English or Welsh, and we ask organisations with Welsh Language policies/schemes to provide bilingual submissions, in line with their public information policies.

 

If you wish to contribute evidence, please send an electronic copy of your submission to petition@wales.gov.uk. Alternatively, you can submit it by post to:

 

Committee Clerk, Petition Committee, National Assembly for Wales, Cardiff Bay, CF99 1NA.

 

Submissions should arrive by Thursday 3 November 2011. It may not be possible to take into account responses received after this date.
