Vol. 384 No. 5

Written Answers. - Departmental Requirements Imposed on Business.

47.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the regulation, practice and information requirement which has been modified by his Department as a result of the decision of the Government last May that each Minister review all such regulations, practices and information requirements which have a cost impact on business and industry.

My Department has completed a review of the statutory and information requirements of the Department of Foreign Affairs and of the bodies under its aegis to see if there are any which might have an effect on business and industry. It concluded that there were none and the Department has reported this to the Minister for Industry and Commerce's industrial costs monitoring group.

The situation will be kept under regular review to ensure that all proposed new regulatory requirements or changes in existing requirements are assessed with regard to their cost impact on business and industry.
