(Chiefly British:) A period before a decision (such as a new regulation) takes effect, during which opposed opinions are heard. A consultation usually takes place after an unpopular resolution has been made by the [authorities]. Usually a consultation offers [the illusion] that people's opinions matter and that said decision can change, where in fact they are merely designed to let steam out. Consultations also 'cover the decision maker's arse': when the decision turns out to be a mistake, the absence of public records of the consultations allows the decision maker to claim to share the [responsibility].
