The government is keeping secret the location of venues for public consultations about the Pathways to Work Green Paper. Individuals who manage to get a ticket will be informed of the venue by email only after bookings have closed, presumably in an effort to reduce the possibility of demonstrations taking place outside.
Tickets are now available for nine in-person events between 30 April and 24 June in London, Manchester, Plymouth, Leeds, Cardiff, Glasgow, Birmingham and Nottingham.
Reasonable travel costs will be reimbursed for those attending in a personal capacity.
People hoping to get tickets may be greeted by a notice saying the event is sold out or closed, even though it isn’t. The organisers say that “To ensure we hear from a range of voices ticket releases will be automatically staggered so please check back later. “ There is no indication of what the final date for bookings will be.
There will also be a series of six virtual events. However, each of these is very limited in scope, dealing with a single chapter in the Green Paper such as “Supporting people to thrive”.
More information and links to booking forms are on this page.
