Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Swinfen (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 19 November 2007.


Regulatory Reform Orders: DBERR

Question
My Lords, who makes the impact assessment? Is it done just by civil servants or are representatives of the businesses that the regulations may affect involved?
Answer

My Lords, as I understand it, consultation takes place with the businesses involved, but of course civil servants from the Better Regulation Executive play an important part, too. The assessments involve a combination of people, and I do not think that assessments have previously been queried.
