HC Deb 26 March 2002 vol 382 cc961-2W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions 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 of public funds of each and (c) the cost to businesses of each. [39119]

Dr. Whitehead

The 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 made available in the Libraries of the House. We do not hold information on the costs of implementation to public funds or businesses.
