<p>The Department assesses the impact of all proposed measures before laying legislation
using standard government methodology. These assessments are set out in Impact Assessments

the Statutory Instrument. Impact Assessments specifically look at the impacts on small

to further review the impact of the legislation within five years of them coming into
