Select Committee on Regulatory Reform Third Report


The Committee's remit


5. The House has instructed us to examine the proposal against the criteria specified in Standing Order No. 141(6) and then, in the light of that examination, to report whether the Government should proceed, whether amendments should be made, or whether the Order should not be made.

6. Our discussion of matters arising from our examination is set out below. Where a criterion specified in Standing Order No. 141(6) is not discussed in the report, this indicates that we have had no concerns to raise about that criterion. In the course of our examination, we requested further information from HM Treasury about a number of issues relating to the proposal and the text of our questions to HM Treasury is reproduced in Annex A to this report. HM Treasury's response is reproduced as Annex B.
