uin	444
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>Government’s priority is to have effective regulatory systems. Where an EU regulatory function is repatriated then in most cases this will be undertaken by an existing regulatory body. The National Audit Office considers that there are 90 regulators operating in the UK. ‘Managing Public Money’ sets out when fees and charges may be levied by a public body for a function, or whether a function can be Exchequer-funded. Where legislation is required to repatriate functions, further information may be found in the relevant impact assessment or explanatory memorandum.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/10/2019 14:13:44 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 707 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

uin	445
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government has taken the decision, in the event that we leave the EU without a deal, to provide as much continuity as possible for businesses and consumers. Different goods are regulated in different ways, in part reflecting the different levels of risk they pose to consumers and the environment. The continuity period for each reflects this.</p><p> </p><p>Where an end date hasn’t been set already, we have committed to engaging industry before determining the end point for ongoing acceptance of goods made against EU regulations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 21/10/2019 11:56:52 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
