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>

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\u2019s right to comment on SIs once public or as a member of an organisation.

The corrections contained in Defra\u2019s EU Exit SIs ensure operability of current EU law and are mainly technical in nature and do not make changes to existing policy. In line with the Government\u2019s overall approach to EU exit, the corrections made in Defra\u2019s EU Exit SIs seek to ensure that legislation can work sensibly in a non-EU context.<\/p>

<\/p>

Each SI will be accompanied by an explanatory memoranda which will provide details of legislative corrections and their impacts. These explanatory memoranda will be published at the time the SI is laid.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4033", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for David Rutley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Macclesfield"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "David Rutley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-04T17:29:06.78Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Statutory Instruments"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 28 January 2019 to Question 211247, whether each Statutory Instrument listed (a) makes policy changes; (b) will lead to a change in operational delivery; (c) will impose additional costs on (i) business, (ii) individuals, or (iii) the public sector; (d) makes changes to primary legislation; (e) will result in additional environmental effects compared with the legislation being amended or replaced; and (f) is only required in the event that the UK leaves the EU with no deal.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4395", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Hayman of Ullock"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Workington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sue Hayman"} ], "uin" : "214571"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1046009", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1046009/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Since presenting a consolidated secondary legislation programme in October, and as of 7 December, Defra has laid, in draft, a total of 70 statutory instruments (SIs). This is in addition to five SIs related to leaving the EU laid in July and September.<\/p>

<\/p>

Defra plans to lay a further 71 statutory instruments before the end of March 2019. These are comprised of 58 SIs related to leaving the EU, of which 12 are on behalf of Northern Ireland, and 13 SIs not related to leaving the EU.<\/p>

<\/p>

19 of these are planned to be laid in December, 29 in January, 13 in February and 10 in March, but these may be subject to change. Of these:<\/p>

In the next 14 months we currently expect to lay around 95 SIs, which will be required to convert over 850 individual pieces of EU related legislation into domestic law by 29 March 2019. We will also continue our programme of business as usual SIs, of which around 75-80 are laid in any one year. Ministers keep the policy priorities to be taken forward under constant review, and this will be particularly important as we manage the legislation introduced before Parliament in the period before we leave the EU.<\/p>

In the past two years Defra has undertaken 27 formal consultations related to proposals for secondary legislation. A breakdown of those which have led to an SI being laid is provided below. Not all consultations will necessarily result in legislation as alternative policies are sometimes pursued.<\/p>

<\/p>

Where consultations held more than 12 months ago did not result in an SI this was in response to stakeholder responses to the consultation. In more recent cases there has not yet been enough time to lay legislation resulting from these consultations.<\/p>
