Schedule 9 4. (2) (a)

This is a list of individuals and groups we will consult with, as appropriate, as part of our Section 75 responsibilities. It is an indicative, rather than exhaustive, list, which will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that it remains relevant to our functions and policies.

We will, from time to time, contact consultees in advance to establish if they are interested in receiving correspondence in relation to specific exercises. Doing this will prevent the generation of unnecessary documentation and minimise waste. We will also, from time to time, ask consultees if they wish to be retained on the consultation list, if they have not responded to consultation exercises in the previous two years.
