HC Deb 18 November 1998 vol 319 cc599-600W
20. Mr. Pike

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what further changes he proposes to make in the deregulation process following the publication of the better regulation guide. [58935]

Mr. Kilfoyle

Following the publication of the Better Regulation Guide, the Government are establishing systems to monitor new regulatory proposals, as well as training and arrangements for regulatory reporting, in order to promote the better regulation process.

The Guide does not affect availability or use of the Deregulation order making process and we will continue to put forward draft orders for consideration by the House of Commons Deregulation Committee and the Delegate Powers and Deregulation Committee of the House of Lords. The Government are also looking at the scope for reform of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994.
