HC Deb 24 July 2002 vol 389 cc1364-5W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many statutory instruments have been(a) introduced, (b) removed and (c) amended by her Department since I January; and what the (i) cost and (ii) saving has been in each case. [64624]

Stephen Twigg

The Department has introduced 47 statutory instruments since 1 January 2002, 31 instruments have been revoked and 16 amending instruments have been made in the same period. Information about the cost and saving of statutory instruments to public funds is not held centrally and would cost a disproportionate amount to establish. Similarly the cost and saving to businesses and individuals is not held centrally and is not available.
