In line with Government policy IAs for secondary legislation only need to be published where these impacts are above certain thresholds. In 2017, this threshold was increased from £1m to £5m annual net costs to business. Where a full IA is not published an explanatory memorandum explaining why impacts are expected to be below the threshold is published alongside the proposed legislation. Defra IAs are published at DefraLex - <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/defralex" target="_blank">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/defralex</a></p><p> </p><p>Equality impact assessments are included where relevant in the regulatory impact assessments. The number of equality impact assessments to which this applies is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p>
