Compliance Cost Assessments

HC Deb 18 November 1997 vol 301 c90W

Mr. Jim Marshall

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list those compliance cost assessments published during the latest six-month period. [16904]

Dr. David Clark

The Government are committed to ensuring that regulations are necessary, fair to all parties and properly costed. In accordance with this, we require Departments to produce and publish CCAs for all regulatory proposals likely to have an impact on business, charities and the voluntary sector.

I have presented to Parliament today a Command Paper listing 90 CCAs published between 1 January 1997 and 30 June 1997 plus 1 CCA published in December 1996 which was omitted from the previous Command Paper. Copies of the CCAs listed have been placed in the Libraries of the House. This is the seventh such Command Paper.
