Regulatory Impact Assessments

Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) are prepared and published by the Government for all primary legislation introduced into and secondary legislation laid before Parliament. In the case of most Government Bills, a RIA forms part of the Explanatory Memoranda to the Bill: in other cases, a separate document is issued. RIAs are an assessment for the business sector of the costs involved in complying with the legislation. The Stationery Office publishes a six monthly list of RIAs as a Command Paper. The publication of this paper is noted in the White Papers section of the Digest.
