The Dekagram: 25th September 2023

You wait ages for a government consultation, and then they all come along at once. Not only is the consultation on fixed recoverable costs ongoing (particularly excitingly, given that the regime is only a week from implementation), the (mixed) results are in from the consultation on the proposal to move to a dual discount rate, and it's anyone's guess where (if anywhere) we're going with that. And finally, we're being consulted on some significant proposed alterations to the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. Given the consensus that the existing Regulations are not working very well in some areas, notably linked travel arrangements and provision of information, it seems inevitable that change is on the way – we would encourage our readers to consider responding to the consultation within the twelve week window.
