DAVID SEYMOUR (Member in charge of the Regulatory Standards Bill): The Regulatory Standards Bill puts some real force and power behind regulatory impact analysis, which is currently often ignored by Governments. It allows members of the public or organisations that represent them to seek a remedy in proceedings where a court can issue a declaration that a Minister responsible, a chief executive of a department responsible, or a member in charge of a bill in Parliament can be declared to have failed to have adhered to the correct principles of good regulation-making, thus putting some real teeth behind regulatory impact analysis that is too often ignored by contemporary Governments of both stripes.
