Part 5 - Responding to the Consultation

1. This consultation is taking place over a 6 week period to reflect the tight time scales presented by the regulatory framework. This consultation will close on 30 June 2013.

2. A 'Respondent Information Form' has been provided that asks information about you or your organisation and a 'Consultation Response Form' that lists the questions associated with this consultation. It is very important that the 'Respondent Information Form' - the first two pages of the form - are returned along with your response as this will ensure that we handle your response appropriately.

3. We are happy to accept your answers either on the completed form or on a separate piece of paper. Once again, please ensure that the 'Respondent Information Form' - the first two pages of the form - are returned along with your response.

4. You may answer as many of the questions detailed in the 'Response Form' as you want; there is no need to answer them all. Everything you tell us will help us know what you think about the proposals.

5. Thank you for completing this consultation. Please return your completed 'Respondent Information Form' and the 'Consultation Response Form' to futurefunds2020@scotland.gsi.gov.uk by 30 June 2013.
