The bulletin collates and presents statistics on the number of criminal offences created by government departments within each 12 month period. The bulletin does not capture information on all criminal offences made in legislation across the UK but only those offences that will be in force for England and Wales or England alone.<\/p>

<\/p>

The table below summarises the information available. 712 criminal offences were created during the period 1 June 2009 to May 2010.<\/p>

For the period from June 2012 to May 2013 it was estimated that 15 pieces of legislation that contained criminal offences were repealed or revoked. These pieces of legislation contained 140 offences but this estimate does not indicate whether an offence has been remade in another piece of legislation or if it has been completely removed from the statute book. Data are not available on repealed or revoked legislation or offences for the period from June 2009 to May 2012.<\/p>

I would expect the development of all government policies including criminal offences to include appropriate consideration of the potential impact on areas such as freedom of speech. All new legislation requires a certificate of compliance with human rights or an explanation as to why it does not.<\/p>

<\/p>

The decision to review criminal offences after they are commenced is a decision for individual departments.

The rules concerning low emission fuel to which the Noble Lord refers are part of the International Maritime Organization\u2019s MARPOL Convention, a treaty to which the UK is a party. The UK supported the development of these standards when they were negotiated in the International Maritime Organization. The Government also supported these standards, but not any \u2018gold-plating\u2019 of them, in the subsequent negotiations on an EU Directive covering sulphur emissions from ships. The shipping industry has known that it would need to comply with these international rules ever since they were adopted by the International Maritime Organisation in October 2008.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s aim is to implement the sulphur limits in a way that minimises the economic impact on the industry. We have not made a detailed assessment of the costs to P&O Ferries which have been reported in the media. We recognise that ticket prices may have to increase to cover the cost of low sulphur fuel, but falling oil prices should offset at least some of this increase. We are looking at ways of helping industry meet the new regulatory requirements. We have already been successful in 2014 in supporting shipowners and ports who applied for EU assistance under the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) programme to help purchase innovative technologies. We propose to take matters further and identify additional options for financial assistance to affected parts of the UK shipping and ports industries.<\/p>

In 2013, the UK share of official development assistance funded from the EU budget was £813 million. UK\u2019s contribution to the European Development Fund (EDF), a Member States voluntary fund not financed from the EU budget but also administered by the Commission, was £407 million. Estimates for the UK share of official development assistance funded from the EU budget in 2014 will be published in April 2015 as part of the provisional ODA:GNI statistics publication for 2014.
