§ Linda PerhamTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans she has to ensure that owners of small businesses are informed by enforcement agencies of(a) new regulations and (b) changes in existing regulations. [136616]
§ Nigel GriffithsIndividual enforcement agencies are required to publicise new regulations as part of the implementation process developed by SBS. To reinforce 187W this, DTIs Small Business Service also provides a signposting service for all small businesses requiring information on new regulations.
They do this by providing details of current regulations on the Business Link website and in "The No-Nonsense Guide to Government rules and regulations for setting up your business," which was published by Business Link earlier this year.
Our website will shortly highlight changes to regulations as they occur and will enable proactive alerts on these changes.
