§ Mr. LansleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what cumulative net increase in compliance costs has been estimated in compliance cost assessments published by his Department since 1 May 1997; [52934]
(2) if he will list the compliance cost assessments published by his Department since 1 May 1997; [52935]
(3) if he will list those compliance cost assessments since 1 May 1997 in which there is a net reduction in compliance costs resulting from a legislative proposal. [52933]
§ Mr. SpellarThe Ministry of Defence is not a regulatory department and rarely places legislation before Parliament which requires compliance cost assessments. As a consequence, no such assessments have been carried out or published by the Ministry of Defence since 1 May 1997.
