Burdens on smaller regulators were raised in the Regulatory Futures Review with regard to the implementation of the 2016 Enterprise Act’s provisions for independent scrutiny of the impact on business of regulatory changes. The Public Accounts Committee also recommended an approach to assessing impacts (Recommendation 6 of its 2016-17 report on Better Regulation – HC 487). In light of both reports ministers modified the Better Regulation System to make it more proportionate for both departments and regulators as reflected in the Interim Guidance on the Better Regulation Framework published by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on 22 February 2018.
