Acts

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bridges of Headley on 6 June (HL132), how many sections of, and Schedules to, Acts passed since 2010 have yet to be commenced because ministers have not made a relevant commencement order.

Answer

The Cabinet Office does not keep a central record of when each section and Schedule is commenced, but do monitor progress in implementing key policy commitments across the Government's programme. It is Government policy to only legislate where legislation is required to deliver a policy.
