Rules and Regulations

HC Deb 07 February 1995 vol 254 cc194-5W

Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the rules and regulations in his Department which have been withdrawn in the last 12 months, or which his Department plans to withdraw in the next 12 months; and what impact this will have on his Department's manpower.

Mr. Norris

[holding answer 6 February 1995]The Department is continuing to identify rules and regulations for withdrawal. Most of the rules and regulations which were identified for withdrawal in last year's reviews have yet to be implemented. Those for withdrawal in the next 12 months will be announced as and when the consultations are completed.

The manpower implications are taken into account in the Department's central manpower plans, which will be published in the Department's annual report in March.
