GA Alliance has prepared a number of agreed position papers used in consultation and lobbying activity. Numbers have also been prepared by member organisations or their representatives. Those available from this site are listed below. Also included are various papers from other sources relevant to specific consultations. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure these and information provided here is factually correct this can not be guaranteed. Papers headed GA Alliance will have been agreed as a common position by GA Alliance Member Organisation representatives.
