Making your Response

We are inviting written responses to this consultation paper by 9 September 2005. Earlier responses would be very welcome.

To help you make a response we have prepared an electronic Consultation Response Form which is available at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/consultations

We have also provided a paper response form. Please answer any or all the questions as you wish. It would help us greatly if you could use these forms, and indicate at all times which questions you are responding to, as this will aid our analysis of the responses received.

Please send your comments, by 9 September 2005:

by e-mail to:pfla@scotland.gsi.gov.uk

in writing to:

PFLA Consultation
Access to Justice Division
Scottish Executive
2 West
St Andrew's House
Regent Road
Edinburgh

by fax to: 0131 244 8325

The Scottish Executive intends to follow its normal practice of making copies of responses received available to the public in the Scottish Executive Library at Saughton House, Broomhouse Drive, Edinburgh (tel 0131 244 4552) by 7 October 2005.

If respondents indicate that they wish all, or part, of their reply excluded from this arrangement, confidentiality will be respected. All responses not marked confidential will be checked for any potentially defamatory material before being placed in the Scottish Executive library. To assist us in handling your response appropriately, it is important that you provide the information requested either by using the electronic Consultation Response Form or the Respondee Information Form. If you are responding on behalf of an organisation, please make that explicit and specify your position within the organisation.

All respondents should be aware that the Scottish Executive are subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and would therefore have to consider any request made to it under the act for information relating to responses made to this consultation exercise.

A summary of the consultation responses will be produced and will be available on the Scottish Executive website www.scotland.gov.uk as soon as practicable.
