In response to the Deputy’s question my Department has published twenty Bills since I was appointed Minister with three Bills requiring a Regulatory Impact Assessment. The following is a list of the three Regulatory Impact Assessments carried out:
| Name of Act / Bill | Regulatory Impact Assessment carried out |
|---|---|
| Construction Contracts Act | RIA published on 27 September 2011. Signed into law on 29 July 2013 (subject to a Commencement Order). |
| Protected Disclosures Bill 2013 | RIA published alongside the Bill on 3 July 2013. |
| Freedom of Information Bill 2013 | RIA published in September 2013. |
Presently I intend to introduce a further five Bills with four requiring Regulatory Impact Assessments. The following is a list of the four Regulatory Impact Assessments carried out or expected to be carried out:
