The consultation ran for seven weeks from 9 August 2021 to 21 September 2021 and received 66 responses from a variety of stakeholders (businesses, charities and NGOs) representing all four nations of the UK.
The key themes emerging from the responses were:
- The frequency of DAG meetings, including the use of virtual meetings and other online tools, and the topics of discussion, whether thematic or issue-focused.
- Transparency around the TCA engagement structures including the publication of membership lists, minutes and papers produced.
- The importance of the membership of both fora to have relevant expertise, technical knowledge and representation from all four nations of the UK.
