  2. When this consultation ends, we intend to place a copy of the responses in the Defra library at Ergon House, London. This is so that the public can see them. Members of the public may also ask for a copy of responses under freedom of information legislation.
  3. If you do not want your response – including your name, contact details and any other personal information – to be publicly available, please say so clearly in writing when you send your response to the consultation. Please note, if your computer includes a confidentiality disclaimer, that won’t count as a confidentiality request.
  4. Please explain why you need to keep details confidential. We will take your reasons into account if someone asks for this information under freedom of information legislation. But, because of the law, we cannot promise that we will always be able to keep those details confidential. We will summarize all responses and place this summary on our website at www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/gangmasters-regs/.
