Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to the Answer of 1 November 2022 to Question 75766, if she will list those occasions where the Department has been tasked with delivering an audit of regulatory burdens identifying both UK and EU origins and has generated a document for central Whitehall collation and review between 2001 and 2015.

The information requested is not collated centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Where regulations are creating unjustifiable burdens on business, Defra is committed to reform them to ensure we support our environment and our economy alike. A public list of all Defra regulations is collated on the Defralex website.
