The Government Decision of June 2005 requires Regulatory Impact Analysis to be produced in respect of all proposals for primary legislation involving changes to the regulatory framework, significant Statutory Instruments and draft EU Directives and significant EU Regulations. In the period since June 2005, only one piece of legislation requiring RIA arose in respect of my Department, namely the Statute Law Revision Act. A RIA was produced in this case and has been published on my Department's Better Regulation website.
