HC Deb 27 February 2002 vol 380 c1339W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list the statutory instruments issued by her Department in the last 12 months, indicating(a) the purpose of each and (b) the cost of each to (i) public funds, (ii) businesses and (iii) individuals. [36223]

Mr. Morley

In the 2001 calendar year, DEFRA/MAFF has made 526 Statutory instruments (SIs). A full list and purpose of each instrument is available through the HMSO SI registrar, which can be found at (siregistrar@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk).

Due to the very large number of SIs made, the breakdown of individual purposes and costings could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Regulatory Impact Assessments for regulations imposing a cost or benefit are published on the Department's website and are available in the Libraries of the House.
