<p>There is no centrally held record of the number of post-legislative reviews submitted
by Government departments. The decision on whether a review should be submitted to
the relevant departmental select committee is a matter for discussion between departments
and the committee. There will be occasions when the department and committee may agree
that a memorandum is not required, for example where an Act has already been repealed,
has only a very limited policy or practical significance, a review has already been
committed to or carried out (e.g. following a pilot); or a department has already
submitted relevant evidence in connection with another inquiry by the committee.</p><p>
