They explained that in some cases, departments have combined measures to form coherent packages in order to aid public understanding. This letter was published in the Committee’s 43rd report of this session.</p><p>Departments continue to refine the drafting and policy content of each SI. All secondary legislation - not least that relating to exiting the EU - has to be accessible and usable. In some cases having a number of separate instruments that are closely related or cross-cutting would be to the detriment of that.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 23/01/2019 17:19:56 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2019 answer text <p>Government departments may make use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when structuring their engagements on preparations for leaving the EU, which is a crucial component of planning. It is for departments to determine the manner in which engagement with stakeholders takes place and this can include discussions about statutory instruments (SIs).</p><p>Given the sensitive nature of some discussions, there may be limited circumstances in which departments have used NDAs to enable more stakeholder engagement than would otherwise be the case.</p><p>All the SIs help provide certainty for businesses and the public by ensuring a functioning statute book when the UK leaves the EU.
