question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many statutory instruments from the Home Office have been laid this calendar year; of those, what percentage corrected errors in a previous instrument (including drafts of affirmative instruments that had to be superseded by correcting drafts); and what steps that Department is taking to reduce the need for correcting instruments.
tabling member printed	Lord Goodlad
uin	HL1426
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p>The Home Office has laid 51 statutory instruments so far this calendar year. Five of these (10%) corrected errors in a previous instrument. Not all &quot;errors&quot; in a statutory instrument are drafting errors. Some instruments are withdrawn due to factual errors or changes in policy.The Home Office Legal Adviser's Branch has in place a &quot;three pairs of eyes&quot; check on all statutory instruments made by the Department. The policy instructions must be cleared by a Senior Civil Service official in the instructing unit. Instruments are then drafted by the responsible lawyer and are checked and cleared by the Senior Civil Service team leader. Instruments are then finally cleared by one of two senior lawyers with specialist drafting skills before they are laid. These processes were enhanced and improved in April this year. The quality of statutory instrument drafting is also being discussed within the wider Treasury Solicitor’s Department with a view to identifying ways of improving quality through, for example, more rigorous monitoring, better training and more flexible use of experienced and skilled drafters.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 30/07/2014 11:18:51 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The Department for Work and Pensions has made 70 Statutory Instruments (SI) in 2014. Of these, 14 affirmative SIs had been laid in draft over the same period and one draft was withdrawn and replaced with two SIs: one under the affirmative procedure (SI 1954) and another using the negative procedure (SI 1711). In this period there was also one negative SI made (SI 1621) to clarify a regulation included in an earlier SI made (SI 1386) but not yet in force.</p><p> </p><p>The Department, with its Legal Service teams in the Treasury Solicitors Office (TSOL), is taking steps to mitigate the need for correcting instruments through training and support to build capability, sharing best practice and learning from internal review and reports from the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments and the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee. Further, TSOL is undertaking a strategic project to improving the quality of SI drafting as part of its “legal quality” agenda.</p> answering member printed Lord Freud question first answered 30/07/2014 13:03:01 answering member 3893 label Biography information for Lord Freud

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2014 answer text <p>In 2007 EU Member States agreed to an overarching non-binding target to reduce primary energy consumption by 20% by 2020, against a 2007 business-as-usual projection.</p><p>The 2012 EU Energy Efficiency Directive established, among other things, non-binding national energy savings targets on Member States. In April 2013, the UK notified the European Commission of its national energy saving target (Article 3). The target was set at the level of 129.2 million tonnes of oil equivalent for final energy consumption, representing an 18% reduction relative to the 2007 business-as-usual projection. This is equivalent to a 20% reduction in primary energy consumption.</p><p>According to DECC’s Updated Energy and Emissions Projections 2013, final energy consumption in the UK will be 20% lower in 2020 than the 2007 business as usual projection meaning that the UK is on track to overachieve against its target. This reflects the Government’s ambitious policy package.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 30/07/2014 16:04:38 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
