§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many statutory instruments have been(a) introduced, (b) removed and (c) amended by his Department since 1 January; and what the (i) cost and (ii) saving has been in each case. [64635]
§ Mr. JamiesonIn the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 May 2002, my Department's predecessor (the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions) was responsible for making 80 general statutory instruments. A list identifying these has been placed in the Libraries of the House. Endorsed on each instrument is an Explanatory Note, which identifies any legislation revoked or amended by the instrument. The remainder of 353W the information requested is not held centrally in a form which would enable it to be provided by my Department without incurring disproportionate costs.
