answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2016 answer text <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 which are scrutinised by the Regulatory Policy Committee before publication alongside the Statutory Instrument. Impact Assessments specifically look at the impacts on small and micro businesses. A number of the tobacco measures contain commitments to further review the impact of the legislation within five years of them coming into force.</p><p> </p><p>The Department assesses the impact of tobacco control measures on an ongoing basis as it develops policy and considers new measures. In September 2013, the Department published An Audit of the impact of the Department of Health’s Regulations upon business. A copy of the report is attached. The Audit report covered all regulations for which the Department has responsibility believed to have a potential cost to business, including those relating to tobacco control. As advised in the report, there is a robust cost-benefit case for the tobacco control regulations considered and experience shows that initiatives to reduce smoking prevalence work best in combination, with cumulative effects over time.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison grouped question UIN 29169 29170 question first answered 04/03/2016 13:18:01 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison attachment 1 file name PQ29168-29169-29170 document.pdf title Audit report
