	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2024 answer text <p>Together with other initiatives, post-legislative scrutiny promotes the delivery of meaningful and effective legislation. Post-legislative reviews are tailored for each Act and should be proportional in scope.</p><p> </p><p>The Ivory Act 2018 came into force on 6 June 2022 when the ban on dealing in elephant ivory commenced. To allow an effective assessment to be made of how the Act is working in practice, we are recommending that a post-legislative review be undertaken in due course in line with the three-to-five-year timeframe from when the Act came into effect rather than the date of Royal Assent.</p><p> </p><p>Defra, as the Act's enforcement authority, monitors routinely the Wild Animals in Circuses Act 2019 and will discuss the most appropriate way to review the 2019 Act with the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee.</p><p> </p><p>Defra intends to undertake post-legislative review of the Agriculture Act 2020 by no later than November 2025.</p><p> </p><p>Post-legislative scrutiny of the Fisheries Act 2020 will be taken forward within the three to five years’ timeframe after Royal Assent. In planning the timing of the post-legislative scrutiny, we need to consider that the Joint Fisheries Statement (JFS) required by the Act was published in November 2022, the first Fisheries Management Plans (FMPs) as required by both the Act and the JFS, were published at the end of December 2023. The Act also requires review of the JFS and FMPs. We are considering the most appropriate point for the post-legislative review.</p> answering member printed Lord Douglas-Miller question first answered 22/01/2024 17:28:49 answering member 5006 label Biography information for Lord Douglas-Miller

Part 2 of the Act concerning electric vehicles was reviewed by the Government in the publication <em>'Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 Regulatory Report 2022</em>' on 31 May 2023.</p><p> </p><p>Both the Laser Misuse (Vehicles) Act 2018 and the Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Act 2018 are not currently under consideration for post-legislative reviews. The Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Act 2018 does not contain a review clause as it pertains to EU exit. The Laser Misuse (Vehicles) Act 2018 does not have a review clause and thus far there has not been any secondary legislation brought in to support the Act. Therefore, a review would be disproportionate to complete at this time.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport has commenced a review of the Space Industry Act (2018), which will conclude at the end of March 2024 and be published alongside a wider review being undertaken by the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology.</p> answering member printed Lord Davies of Gower question first answered 23/01/2024 13:02:10 answering member 4499 label Biography information for Lord Davies of Gower
