§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the European Union directives and regulations relating to his Department that have been implemented in each of the last four years, specifying(a)the title and purpose of each, (b)the cost to public funds of each and (c)the cost to businesses of each. [39123]
§ Ruth KellyThe information requested is not held centrally and providing it would involve disproportionate cost. Regulatory impact assessments are produced for all proposals, including those originating in European legislation, likely to impose significant costs on businesses in the UK and are generally made available in the Libraries of the House. We do not hold information on the costs to public funds of implementation.
