Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) are commonly undertaken within my Department at an early stage in the policy development process, as they are regarded as a valuable tool in deciding the best approach to take. In general, after the text of a Bill has been agreed by Government, any related RIA is published on the Department’s website, .

The following table sets out the position as regards proposals in the Government’s legislation programme for Spring/Summer 2017:
