In response to the Deputy's question my Department has published twenty-five Bills since I was appointed Minister with six Bills requiring a Regulatory Impact Assessment. The following is a list of the seven Regulatory Impact Assessments carried out:
| Name of Act/Bill | - |
|---|---|
| Statute Law Revision Bill 2012 | RIA published by the Attorney General |
| Protected Disclosures Bill 2013 | RIA published alongside the Bill on 3 July 2013 |
| Freedom of Information Bill 2013 | RIA published in September 2013 |
| Registration of Lobbying Bill 2014 | RIA published 30 April 2013 |
| Statute Law Revision Bill 2015 | Screening RIA conducted |
| Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2015 | RIA completed but not published |
I intend to publish a further seven Bills before the end of this Government with one Bill requiring a Regulatory Impact Assessment called the Public Sector Standards Bill. The Regulatory Impact Assessment has already been published for this Bill and is currently available on my Department's website.
