Regulatory Impact Assessments

Mr. Stephen O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether regulatory impact assessments undertaken in relation to EU legislation are full assessments. [155259]

Nigel Griffiths: All regulations, including those resulting from EU legislation, that have a cost to or benefit for business are required to have a full Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). Copies are placed in the Libraries of the House.

While EU legislation is being developed, a partial RIA is prepared in order to inform the policy development process. The RIA remains a partial RIA while the legislative proposal itself is under development.

4 Mar 2004 : Column 1080W

Mr. Stephen O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry pursuant to her answer of 2 February 2004, Official Report, column 649W, on regulatory impact assessments, what assessment she has made of the frequency with which the costs and benefits of regulations to consumers are considered in the course of regulatory impact assessments. [155490]

Nigel Griffiths: The Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) process requires policy makers to assess the impact on all areas of society affected by a proposal. Where appropriate, therefore, the impact on consumers will be assessed in the RIA.

An estimate of the frequency with which consumers are referred cannot be provided without incurring disproportionate cost.

All RIAs must include a competition assessment which looks at the impact of a proposal on UK customers.

Regulatory Reform Orders

Mr. Stephen O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which regulatory reform order have been used to amend burdensome primary legislation since 2001. [155319]

Nigel Griffiths: The Department is currently committed to a total of 10 Regulatory Reform Orders by the end of 2005.

The Department has completed one Regulatory Reform Order removing the 20 Partner Limit on business partnerships. A further two removing the Sunday Trading Reporting Requirements for large stores and Patent Law improvements are undergoing Parliamentary scrutiny.

Russia (Nuclear Co-operation)

Llew Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority was involved under the G8 Global Partnership Programme or its predecessor bilateral nuclear co-operation agreements with Russia in the towing of the Russian nuclear submarine K159 (November Class SSN) to the breaker's yard. [157498]

Nigel Griffiths: No.

Secondments

Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list the secondees from outside organisations working in her Department, stating in each case (a) the name of the person, (b) the name of the organisation, (c) the post held and (d) the start and finish dates of the secondment; and which are involved in drafting parliamentary answers.

the secondee and the name of the DTI directorate to which the secondee is attached, and the secondment start and finish dates.

4 Mar 2004 : Column 1082W
