Better Regulation Executive
The Legislative & Regulatory Reform Act aims to make it quicker and easier to tackle unnecessary or over-complicated regulation and help bring about a risk-based approach to regulation. The Act is an important part of the Modernising Government agenda, fitting into a wider programme of action aimed at addressing the problem of burdensome regulation.
The Act received Royal Assent on 8 November 2006.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Hilary Armstrong wrote to all Better Regulation Ministers on 26th July 2006 regarding the transition from RROs under the Regulatory Reform Act, 2001 to orders under the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill.
The Better Regulation Executive ran a consultation on proposals to amend the Regulatory Reform Act 2001 from 20 July to 12 October 2005. The Better Regulation Executive would like to thank all respondents for contributing their views.
The consultation document draws on the findings of the Government's Review of the Regulatory Reform Act 2001.
