I'm glad I'm not talking to you face to face as I'm speechless!!
DECC closed their energy NPS statements on the 24th January 2011. They published their final 'finished' NPS statements on the.........26th January! As if it's not insulting enough that they we know that it's fixed anyway, they add insult to injury by publishing it only two days after the closing date for conusltation, this makes it perfectly clear they have no intention of even bothering to read all of the representations made, let alone acting on any of them.
As if that's not bad enough, upon scrutiny of the document it states on the front page states that:
"The published report was ordered by the House of Commons to be printed 18 January 2011."
This indicates that they'd finalised the document and sent it for printing before the consultation period was finished.
I cant believe they can get away with this kind of overt flouting of the law, particularly not after the last time when they were criticised over their consulation in 2006. But then what am I saying? anyone would think that we were living in a democracy.
