Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by John Bercow (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 31 October 2005 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Unemployment

Question
Given that minimising the regulatory burden is vital to the creation of wealth and jobs, will the Minister tell the House what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry about the merits of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 1980 and the Small Businesses Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 1996 in the United States?
Answer

The answer to the hon. Gentleman's clever question is that I have not had any such discussions. I shall write to him when I have familiarised myself with those pieces of legislation, and, if they are relevant to my job, I shall ensure that I do undertake such discussions.
