HL Deb 21 May 2003 vol 648 cc90-1WA
Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why they introduced the variety of changes in fees payable under the Health and Safety (Fees) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/547). [HL2763]

Baroness Hollis of Heigham:

HM Treasury's Fees and Charges Guide says that the normal objective for charging schemes for statutory services should be full cost recovery. The various changes in the Health and Safety (Fees) Regulations 2003 reflect this guidance.
