	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2021 answer text <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the department and committee may agree that a memorandum is not required, for example where an Act has already been repealed, has only a very limited policy or practical significance, a review has already been committed to or carried out (e.g. following a pilot); or a department has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> </p> answering member printed Lord True question first answered 03/09/2021 10:57:40 answering member 4200 label Biography information for Lord True
