Code of Practice on Guidance on Regulation
The Government is committed to improving the quality of guidance on regulation because of its importance in improving compliance and reducing the burden of regulation.
This code of Practice sets out the rules for guidance on legislation which will have a significant effect on business and the third sector. They have been created following views expressed by businesses, the third sector and other organisations and by a formal consultation process.
The accompanying Guide to the Code of Practice on Guidance is designed to help officials to meet the Code's requirements when writing guidance on how to comply with the law.
