Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Regulatory Policy Committee's report entitled Status of Post Implementation Reviews published on 24 April 2025, why the post-implementation review of The Infrastructure Planning Fees (Amendment) Regulations 2017 was delayed.

It is a matter of regret that under the previous government my Department did not manage to carry out and publish the required post-implementation reviews of regulatory provisions in these Regulations in a timely manner.

I reassure the hon. Member, and the Regulatory Policy Committee, that this government will proceed to review these regulatory provisions and publish a report setting out the conclusions as soon as we can.
