answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>The Reading Room was developed based on feedback from stakeholders to give them advanced sight of SIs before they are laid in Parliament. It is an online platform where stakeholders can check the technical aspects of near-final SIs before they are laid before Parliament. It has been designed with a specific audience in mind. Parliamentarians are able to scrutinise these SIs through the usual process. Unlike stakeholders, Parliamentarians have a significant scrutiny timetable and can chose to accept or reject the SIs.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 11/02/2019 17:07:11 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2019 answer text <p>Information on stakeholder engagement, where applicable, is contained in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying each Statutory Instrument (SI). For instance, Defra organised informal discussions with 23 stakeholders on The REACH Regulations 2019, and undertook targeted engagement with stakeholders for the Fisheries Regulations 2019 alongside coverage in the Fisheries White Paper.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has also invited some specialists, on a personal basis, to preview late stage drafts of SIs. This provides an opportunity for technical scrutiny before the SI is laid before Parliament. This is independent of a specialist’s right to comment on SIs once public or as a member of an organisation. So far 44 specialists have been involved.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 04/02/2019 17:50:07 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
