The Department of Defence operates a Legislation Branch to drive and implement the legislative reform programme within the Department. As part of that role the Department is represented by staff of the Legislation Branch on the Inter-departmental Committee on Reducing the Administrative Burden. This area of work represents 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 the branch.
