The Deregulation and Regulatory Reform Committee
is appointed to consider proposals for deregulation orders (under
the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994) and for regulatory
reform orders (under section 6 of the Regulatory Reform Act 2001);
and subsequently, any ensuing draft Deregulation Order or Regulatory
Reform Order.
The Committee is required to examine each of these
documents against a range of criteria specifically laid down in
its Standing Order. In the case of proposals for orders, it is
required to report to the House either that a draft order in the
same terms as the proposals should be laid before the House; or
that the proposals should be amended before a draft order is laid
before the House; or that the order-making power should not be
used in respect of the proposals. In the case of draft orders,
it is required to report to the House its recommendation whether
the draft order should be approved. Additionally, it may report
to the House on any matter arising from its consideration of these
documents.
The Committee also considers any 'subordinate provisions
orders' which may be made subsequent to the making of a Regulatory
Reform Order, and may report on them to the House.
The full constitution and powers of the Committee
are set out in House of Commons Standing Order No 141.
