Consultations

As the independent voice of business for the Thames Valley, we seek to promote and enhance the interest of our members in line with our key policy priorities.

We regularly respond to national and local consultations from central and local government and other stakeholders.  We also comment on specific sector, policy, investment, and growth issues, relevant to our members, in the form of open letters to government Ministers.

All our consultation responses and open letters are informed by engaging Chamber members to help shape our submissions. We are keen to receive comment from those who have relevant geographical, sector and operational interest and knowledge on the topics or wish to raise a specific policy issue.

If you are a member of the Chamber and would like to comment on any of our open consultations, please submit your views by contacting the Business Representation and Policy team.

Open Consultations

The following consultations are currently being reviewed as we are in the process of submitting a response. Please note that the deadlines referenced are those of the body inviting responses. The Chamber will need member comments in good time (normally at least one to two weeks beforehand) to inform any likely submission. Your help in this matter is appreciated.
