This book was released on 2006-06-28 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) are designed to enable policy makers to assess the need for, and impact of, new regulations. In 2005 Government departments produced around 200 'Final' RIAs. They have been used to assess the likely economic, social and environmental impacts of the proposed regulation, and the range of options for implementing it. They have grown in scope in recent years as additional assessment criteria, such as sustainable development, have been added. Departments have primary responsibility for undertaking RIAs, and the Better Regulation Executive (BRE), which forms part of the Cabinet Office, has primary responsibility for taking forward the Government's Better Regulation agenda. The National Audit Office focused its examination on four departments - Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS); Trade and Industry; Home Office; and Transport (DfT). RIAs are often not used in the right way. The purpose of RIAs is not always understood; there is a lack of clarity in the presentation of the analysis; and persistent weaknesses in the assessments. RIAs are only occasionally used to challenge the need for regulation and influence policy decisions. If used well, RIAs can offer an effective tool for assessing different options and identifying regulatory solutions that do not impose unnecessary costs on those being regulated. There are three ways the BRE should bolster RIAs. Firstly, it should re-emphasise that economics should lie at the heart of RIAs, considering market failure, counterfactuals, competition, and how consumers and organisations behave. Secondly, RIAs need to be supplemented by a broader toolkit that policy makers can use earlier in the life of a policy. Thirdly, the BRE could re-emphasise the importance of the RIA process in challenging the introduction of new regulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the light of Lord Cullen's recommendations on rail transport safety, this Bill contains provisions to create an independent inspection body, called the Railway Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB), with responsibility for examining the causes of rail accidents. Its role will be similar to the investigatory bodies that exist in the marine and aviation sectors. Other measures include: the creation of a Regulatory Board to replace the Rail Regulator, in line with standard practice for the regulation of utilities; British Transport Police to be given wholly statutory jurisdiction over the rail system, and the creation of a new independent police authority to oversee their activities; and the introduction of alcohol limits and related measures for crews in the shipping and aviation sectors.

Steering Committee for the Railway Safety Act Amendments and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a number of railway accidents, the Minister of Transport decided to delay re-introduction of amendments to the Railway Safety Act in order to give the department the opportunity to review current mechanisms for overseeing railway safety and ensuring regulatory compliance, and examine other possible improvements to the legislation. The review documented in this report was conducted over a four-month period by a project team of railway safety, risk management and regulatory experts. The study led to the identification of a number of railway safety system issues and the development of system improvements to address the issues. The system improvements recommended by the review will enhance the ability of the railway system to give reasonable assurance of the continuing state of railway safety.

This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . a treasure trove of valuable insight and commentary into the utility markets and how they are, and should be, regulated. European Competition Law Review Regulating Utilities and Promoting Competition continues the series of annual books, published in association with the Institute of Economic Affairs and the London Business School, which critically review the state of utility regulation and competition policy. With contributions by some of the leading figures in the field, this important new book presents incisive chapters on a number of prominent topics. These include, amongst others, the future of the railways, the international trade in gas, the economics and politics of wind power and the role of economics in merger reviews. A key feature of the book is the careful examination of fundamental issues, not only from the viewpoint of academic and other independent commentators, but also by the regulators and heads of competition authorities themselves. By addressing significant developments both in Britain and abroad, the authors draw important lessons about the policy changes needed as well as their subsequent implementation. This book will be of great value to practitioners, policymakers and academics alike who are concerned with regulation, deregulation and policies to promote competition.
