RE: 27% APR on Social Fund loans? - Government consultation - deadline for responses 23 December

Yes, I noticed that Shawn, so I wrote to them as follows:
Please can you explain why it is that this very important consultation does not meet The Cabinet Office Code of Practice on Consultation, which advises that a minimum of 12 weeks is appropriate for public consultations, unless there are good reasons for a shorter period?
The curt reply I have just received is below:
Thank you for your message. This is an informal consultation at an early stage of policy development. As such, it is very much in line with the Government Code of Practice on Consultation. We are at this stage seeking views. We look forward to hearing from you again with your views. Is it just me or have they completely not answered the question?
