Written answers

My Department has published 23 Bills and 21 Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) since March 2011. Eleven of these RIAs relate to legislation, with the remainder relating to a range of policy matters.

RIAs are generally undertaken within my Department at an early stage in the policy development process, as they are regarded as a valuable tool in deciding the best policy approach to adopt.
