My Department operates a Legislation Branch to drive and implement the legislative reform programme within the Department. As part of that role my Department is represented by staff of the Legislation Branch on the RIA Network and the Inter-departmental Committee on Reducing the Administrative Burden. These areas of work represent a portion of the overall work of the Legislation Branch and costs for the branch are not measured to capture individual segments of work within that branch.
