<p>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> </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’s right to comment on SIs once public or as a member of an organisation.
So far 44 specialists have been involved.</p>
