[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2279901, member: 475901"] I used to be a statistician in the Govt Stats Service, retired 10 years ago just before the purges. I did research, public consultations, plus impact analyses for others. Occasionally naivety would lead people to omit essential areas/facts but not so often as now. This government first ignored the rules on consultations several times, ignored official parliamentary reproofs no matter how public, then used covid to dismantle the rules. The few impact analyses they actually publish now are a joke, a sick joke on us. Often it is, or has elements of, naive as they made more and more experienced staff redundant or persuaded them to leave. But the general move is for less consultation, very short deadlines and less effective publication so fewer know. However, this time I got a a very fast bounce from DfT on my FoI, claiming this is a HMT issue so I must start again. Not true. I now suppose this one is not accidental. [/QUOTE]
