Select Committee on Regulatory Reform Seventh Report


4 The Department's response to our report

Drafting of the Order

9. We were content with the form in which the proposal had been drafted. The Department has made no amendments to the drafting of its Order.

Adequate consultation

10. As noted in paragraph 7 above, we were concerned by the Department's failure to identify all those bodies which had received copies of its consultation document on the proposal. In light of this, we are disappointed that the Department has made no comment or acknowledgement of the point made concerning the desirability of properly identifying those parties who were consulted on its proposal.

11. Subject to this point, we are satisfied that the responsible Minister has had due regard to our previous report on the proposal for the draft Order.
