Background information
-
‘Regulatory provision’ is defined under the Better Regulation Framework.
-
The data is based on the review clauses included in secondary legislation, in line with the legal requirements to make provision for review in secondary legislation and carry out reviews under sections 28-31 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment (SBEE) Act 2015.
-
The data goes as far back as 2015, when the legal requirements of the SBEE Act came into force. The scope of the data included in the tracker covers review clauses for any secondary legislation from 2015 onwards and any legislation that was amended from 2015 onwards to include a post-implementation review (PIR) as a result of SBEE.
-
The data has been collated from legislation.gov.uk and in collaboration with Better Regulation Units across government, Although the data has been cross-checked for accuracy purposes with departments, the dataset is not definitive as further information with regards to the relevant reviews is obtained on a rolling basis therefore, we recommend caveating the data.
-
The dataset relates to PIR clauses conducted from 2015 onward, when the legal requirements of the SBEE Act came into force. This dataset is not definitive as further information is obtained on a rolling basis based on the best available information at the time of compilation. While efforts have been made to ensure accuracy, it may not be exhaustive or entirely up to date. Additional data may emerge on a rolling basis, and updates or corrections may be necessary.
-
The data was collected on 21 April 2026 and reflects the status of PIRs as of that date.
