Regulatory Impact Assessments

HC Deb 07 May 2002 vol 385 c75W

Lawrie Quinn

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list those regulatory impact assessments published during the latest six-month period. [55067]

Mr. Leslie

The Government are committed to ensuring that regulations are necessary, give effective protection, balance cost and risk, are fair and command public confidence. In accordance with this, we require Departments to produce and publish RIAs for all regulatory proposals likely to have an impact on business.

I have presented to Parliament today a Command Paper listing RIAs published between 1 July and 31 December 2001. Copies of those listed have been placed in the House Libraries. This is the sixteenth such Command Paper.
